People here in Portugal descriminate Gypsies because they are bad and dangerous and drug dealers and I have a very good friend who had serious problems with them. Her father was beat up and the entire family had to go into hiding and yet I personally don't have anything against them. They have never done me any wrong and even if they had that wouldn't mean they're all bad. Just because some people are racist doesn't mean an entire population is and the opposite is also true. I think I just like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Innocent until proved guilty.
