Talk:Relations between ethnic Czechs and Roma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed all the traditional left-wing propaganda folklore and added sourced information. Centrum99 11:57, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Soudruhu Anglosi, vidím, že máte vážný duševní problém. Nechcete ho řešit s kvalifikovaným odborníkem? 82.100.61.114 13:36, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Dear comrade Anglos, if you think that some of the presented information is "malicious", give me a notice, please. But you certainly know that all the information is adequately sourced and based on truth. In any case, Wikipedia is not just the best place for spreading your distorted view of reality. 82.100.61.114 13:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Still as written I could see some potential offense it. It could be seen as similar to "many white Americans dislike black men for their high crime rate, fathering of illegitimate children, and lowered intelligence as judged by standardized testing. The rate of black men in prison is higher than white men by a factor of..." and you could source all those negative claims. I grant that the Romani do have many social problems, but it's wise to avoid veering too close to unabashedly justifying a prejudice. (Note: I voted for Bob Dole in 1996 and George W. Bush in 2000. So I am not a voice of "the Left" by normal standards)--T. Anthony (talk) 04:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

You can arrange some statements into a more PC form, if you want, but personally I don't accept "editing" the reality in a way that it looks like a view of the world during a LSD hallucination. Centrum99 (talk) 02:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

Article places far too much weight to specific political views. Rather than being specific, it is written with generalizations stating that events were caused by "right wing activity" without defining what it means. --Strothra (talk) 20:18, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

It is a common folklore that such claims from the mouth of minorities are taken as a fact, while the negative side of their "culture" is covered and smoothed over, often by turning the reality by 180 degrees. (Ethnic Czechs could, of course, also seek asylum because of rampant Gypsy crime in some areas.) As I see, the attempts of Mr. Anglos to cover unconvenient truth reach the heights of religious fanatism. Centrum99 (talk) 02:43, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
