Why are gypsies, who are both wandering peoples with Jews, discriminated against by European countries?

With the vigorous promotion of merchants, a style called Bohemian style is very popular in China now. What many people may not know is that their pursuit of fashionable Bohemia actually refers to gypsies, Bohemia, which is the name given to gypsies by European countries such as France.

Bohemian clothing and since the gypsies began wandering in the European continent hundreds of years ago, gypsies, like Jews, have become the targets of discrimination and persecution in European countries. Even now, Gypsies are still the targets of universal discrimination and repression in European countries.

Why is there widespread discrimination against Gypsies in Europe?

First of all, it is due to the general hostility and discrimination of Europeans against foreign nationalities. Divided Europe is essentially a continent composed of many mono-ethnic countries. Therefore, most European countries are more or less full of nationalism.

Small towns with European customs, therefore, people in these countries are naturally unfamiliar and hostile to foreign gypsies with inconsistent appearance, dark skin color and completely different living habits. At this point, gypsies are not the only ones who are discriminated against and driven away. In fact, Jews, as another equally famous and more successful wandering nation, suffered no less discrimination and persecution than Gypsies.

Secondly, the competition for living space and resources leads to widespread discrimination against gypsies in European countries. Since the first gypsy tribe set foot on the European continent, after hundreds of years of development, so far, there are more than one million gypsies on the European continent.

Of course, a population of this size needs to consume a lot of resources, which will inevitably bring competition to Europeans in the areas where Gypsies live. Even in European countries since the era of great navigation, the economy has developed rapidly through colonial plunder.

Gypsies However, the life of most ordinary people is hardly rich. Therefore, the competition of gypsies further aggravated the difficulties of ordinary Europeans. Naturally, the arrival of Gypsies also aroused their strong hostility.

Thirdly, the vagrant Gypsies have become an unstable factor in European countries. Since they left their hometown in northern India and began to wander around the world, Gypsies seem to have carved vagrancy in the depths of their genes. Most generations have been wandering, and few gypsies are willing to choose to settle down and survive completely.

Gypsies have no concept of the country and no sense of belonging to the area where they live. Therefore, for the countries where gypsies live, gypsies can not only provide them with everything that normal citizens should provide, such as taxes and soldiers, but also consume the resources of the host country, which naturally makes the host country very dissatisfied.

The expelled Gypsies, coupled with extreme poverty and long-term vagrancy, gave birth to many thieves, beggars, vagrants, fortune tellers, vendors and other objects that Europeans generally hated at that time, which naturally further tarnished the image of Gypsies in the eyes of Europeans and further strengthened the ill feelings of European countries towards Gypsies.

Finally, the extremely high illiteracy rate, coupled with the too closed living environment, makes gypsies generally lack communication with European countries. Due to long-term vagrancy, most gypsy children have no chance to go to school as normal as ordinary children.

Therefore, most gypsies are illiterate. Although many gypsies are proficient in many languages and are famous for their eloquence, they don't know the local writing at all. The high illiteracy rate and lack of knowledge naturally further strengthen the discrimination against gypsies in western countries.

Moreover, for a long time, many Gypsies even have regulations prohibiting marriage with non-Gypsies, which further strengthens the closeness of Gypsies and their communication with the outside world. Lack of adequate communication and exchange will naturally strengthen the gap and eventually promote discrimination against gypsies in western countries.
