The Romani are the reason I don’t trust Europeans. Even among Americans growing up as a Muslim, I’ve never seen the same vitriolic racial hatred as what I see thrown at the Romani. Even other Americans whom I know are more bigoted have winced at the level of undue malice these people receive when I show them the statements of Europeans.
It’s the thing that leads me to have no hope for Europe unless it’s forcibly restructured. Like, the reasons I’ve seen people give to justify their attitude towards “g*psies” is utterly baffling. It’s like I’m hearing a Nazi race scientist spout the most inane bullshit imaginable, yet I’ve seen enough European forums that show no diversity of thought on this issue.
That’s truly shocking because some of the ways Americans talk about black people, Latino people and Muslims is some of the most repulsive garbage I’ve ever heard. And it isn’t just from MAGA chuds but liberals too.
Maybe I’m just desensitized to American style racism. It’s crass nature makes it almost easy to ignore. But so much of the “enlightened” attitude that European liberals especially pull off is just skin crawling to me. I have similar reactions to American liberal bigotry but European liberals feel as if they are still using eugenics while American liberals come off smug and while being absurdly ignorant.
It’s kind of easy to catch am American liberal in their bigotry and get them to rethink things if you do it correctly, or at least make them look racist to a public audience. But with European liberals in my experience they just say unhinged things that presuppose too many racist presumptions. Again especially with the Romani. The stuff about Muslims reads similar but it’s so disgustingly apparent with Romani.

Stalin truly didn’t go far enough West.

That’s true. I’m not European and I’ve never been there so I really have no grasp of liberal European attitudes towards the Romani.
