Young Gypsy girl loses 80% of her skin in hate crime.

The one thing I can’t stand about Europeans: Racism against Gypsy/Romas. Few europeans are actually so far-right that they would attack a child, but the moderate population still has strong prejudices. When you think about it, America is so far ahead when it comes to racism. Just from my expirience.

In eastern Slovakia many Roma live in segregated communities like the village of Ostrovany where municipal authorities spent some $16,000 to build a wall separating the Roma from their white neighbors, because of fears of “alleged Roma crime,” said Stanislav Daniel from ERRC.
