  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

You mean cyganie. Thats pretty much just the coloquial name for romani pepole. Belive it or not other than ocasional old lady trying to scam you they never were that much of a problem in Poland nor they were treated particulary bad. In fact they are romanticised a bit in Poland.

Now they are still treated with wary beacuse obviusly they are. Its pretty hard to not be when most interaction general population have with them are them trying to scam you. Is the reason for them doing so beacuse of some historical racism in the south? Maybe. i dont know nor do i care .
