What is a gypsy? Why do Europeans hate Gypsies?

Gypsies are also called Gypsies, and Roma are called Roms.

Black Caucasians, who originally lived in northern India, are now spread all over the world, especially in Europe. Most gypsies speak Roma, a language closely related to modern Indo-European language in northern India; They also speak the main language of the country where they live. It is generally believed that Gypsies left India after repeated migration, and arrived in Persia in the 1 1 century, southeast Europe in the early14th century, and western Europe in the15th century. In the second half of the 20th century, Gypsies have spread all over North and South America and arrived in Australia. Gypsies call themselves Roma (meaning "men"), while non-Gypsies call themselves Gajie (meaning "outsiders").

Due to the planned economy in eastern European countries, there are fewer obstacles for Roma to find jobs, but after the transition to market economy in eastern Europe, the unemployment problem of Roma is becoming more and more serious. At present, a large number of Roma in some countries live on social welfare, but this has deepened the discrimination against Roma and created social hidden dangers. For example, when social welfare reform was carried out in Slovakia, there were riots in Roma settlements.
