As the resident Roma/Gypsy of VN, I can attest that when people don't view everyone in the same light (making a big deal out of race), it is affront to a society that wants to be inclusive. Everyone has to be on equal footing with no special exceptions made to any particular race. We create victims of racism by force feeding them the notion that they are victims of racism. Hypersensitivity to race create people who can turn the most innocent situations into a hate fueled, race driven situation.
Do you hear me whime about the millions of Roma exterminated during the Holocaust?nthe forced sterilization of Roma by eastern European countries up until the 90s? The force reparation of Roma camps in France and Italy that is currently on going?
The answer is no. I don't make exception based on my race or culture. I am an American. I have mthe same opportunity to exceed in life as any other American.
