Ignorance and racism are not the same thing. There's overlap, but even if it can be hurtful, ignorance is not malicious.
^ This. In my native Hungary, as much as we would all count as "white" to someone from an actually racially diverse country, people are still super racist against Romani people. Even allegedly progressive people.
That seems worse than in Europe
1 million of them. Didn't GTA 4 revolve around Romani in US?
No that was just your cousin Roman who wants to go bowling. Niko himself is an ethnically Serbian Yugoslavian war vet.
Least favorite GTA game hands down, too. All hail Vice City and San Andreas.
Gypsy Sisters existed (I didn't name the show sue TLC not me). We've got 'em, but if the other guy's number is correct at 1mil there's 6x less than Native Americans, and, when is the last time you've seen one of them either (depending on location)?
Like visually? Idk. I only have known when they told me.
Ignorance born of environment is understandable.
Ignorance born of anti-intellectualism is malicious.
What does "malicious" mean here? Structural racism often doesn't have ill intent from any individual people, and nevertheless still affects people's daily lives.
There's a kind of stubborn ignorance which is very malicious. It's how we got trump, in part.
Yeah that's called hate
