perhaps they should work on improving there image amongst these same people ? they could start with changing their way of life that would go a long way
Which is why I posed the question earlier in this thread:

"...are these people so disliked because they're troublemakers or are they troublemakers because they're so disliked?.."

I've yet to hear a convincing argument either way but suspect that as with all communities it's the activities of a proportion which can create trouble for the rest and it's a cycle which feeds on itself. We've certainly come across Roma in Slovakia who've been doing their best to fit in with society in general but the odds are stacked up against them. The truth is that distrust and hatred towards one group simply begets the same in return.
