Mr Colin
Come to live near my house where gypsies are passing twice a year
and if you are not be stealed with style then I will tear my Sorbonne
Ph.D. of Social Antrhropology in pieces. It's very smart to play
the academic guy to ignorant students but practical life is another point
and maybe you have to make new aquaintances of some Rom people
living to say in Rumania because it seems that English Rom became
too much aristocrats. If you will not be stealed in Rumania I promise
to bet whatever you like on that purpose.
When I say that gypsies are style stealers I mean that one beaurtiful gypsy lady
is telling your fate from your palm and the other is searching in your pockets.
Why while looking the Kosturitsa films you never say that he is lieying ? How
many stereotypes are in these films ? But they are right. That does not means
that Rom are not sympathetic. But one sure thing is that they work whenever
they like and they add their resources begging or stealing. They have not moral
restrictions on that. Also in selling illegally drugs using 6 years olds. In
Athens
there is a terrible competition between gypsies and Albanians on the illegal
traffic of soft drugs.
But it's very easy to caracterise whatever is not written in academic booktexts
as racist. Sure you luck first hand testimonies for student use. If you
choose to
speak the academic language you have to learn that social truth must not be
polished by kind words and noble expressions, Sometimes truth is a bit harder
that you want to demonstrate and you innocent angelic students have to learn
that, just before getting their academic credits and diplomas. Sociology is
not an
academic manifacture of diplomas' production. The point is what your diplomees
will do when meeting their first gypsy in a railway station or in the metro
( such as in Paris where a bunch of 10 years olds gypsies were stealing
wallets
for years, arrested every night by police spending their nights in jail and
released
every morning to start the same job ( because under 18). But their
mafia-organiser
and abuser was strolling with a mercedes.
IN GENERAL I LIKE GYPSIES EXCEPT IF I MEET TOO MANY OF THEM
IN CROWDED PLACES. I prefer to listen them playing violins.
