    Yes, it’s fanny how people just use codewords and claim that everyone speaking normally is straight out racist.

    “No, Roma culture is not preventing social integration, that’s racist thing to say! Some… practices among… some Roma… communities are… harmful. (ufff, racism avoided)”

      You came up with some vague “hypotheticals”, kept throwing more “hypothetical claims” around and now you pretend like you “won” some discussion by treating my explanation as a concession. That is exactly the kind of dishonest argumentative pattern i’m talking about.

      Here’s some dude who shared some of the usual comments that come up in many European reddit subs, once the word “roma” is mentioned: https://piefed.social/post/2439917#comment_13134574

      Maybe that’ll help you to understand why your “hypothetical” nonsense sounds like a bunch of dogwhistles.

        Yes, me asking generally about language used when discussing social integration is the issue, not you imagining what people are really trying to say. And of course other people saying racist stuff means that everyone is racist. I take personal responsibility for all racist comments on reddit, no issues on my side here.
