A young generation's attitude and opinion on Romanian immigrants

I don't think its so clear cut as "hate them" or "love them". Each person is an individual.

What does annoy people though is that there is an apparent culture shock between large parts of the Romany (not purely Romanians) immigrants and the local community - and the local community feels that if immigrants are to come here, its not too much to expect them to respect the existing culture and accept it as being dominant. For example, there is a Romany tradition of people just hanging out on the street at night. There's nothing particularly wrong with it - in fact within its own cultural background it is a worthy and laudable thing - allowing families to meet and pass the time of day much like people here used to do in the local village pub (before they all went bust or were turned into gastro-pubs or bookies). But here, when the nights draw in and with our cultural background it can be extremely intimidating to people, especially lone women who have to walk past and through these people.

What is harmless in one place can be completely unacceptable in another - look for example at the girl who went to prison in Indonesia for insulting a mountain recently.

From what I've seen, its not as though these people do it on purpose to wind the local community up - its simply an education issue. They don't know they are doing wrong and as soon as they are told or informed (by someone speaking their language as many immigrants don't speak enough English to be able to understand what people are telling them and just think they are unpopular because people are acting in a racist way towards them), they disperse.

This happens in my country, too. Young adults or adolescents(for the most part) gather around apartment buildings or in parks or such and they drink, are loud and dirty the place with trash or such. If you pass past them(especially being a woman) they start harassing you, asking you for your number or even putting their hands on you. They are usually the scum of society, with no jobs or families to support, they don't go to school etc. They "manage" by doing illegalities or barely-legal stuff. Normal people in Romania fear them, too. They are mostly gypsies, to be honest, but not always.

I don't like the fact that the EU expands into countries while they are still poor and so ideally you wouldn't come however for the most part your fine and certainly preferable to other immigrant groups, you are European afterall.

Wait for North Africa

While I suspect it will, I'll have long campaigned for out.

The moment they try to include Africa is the moment I get the heck out of Europe. I doubt that will ever happen but if they tried to allow open migration from Africa, Europe would turn into one big slum

While I don't support an EU exit right now, a million asylum seekers will have entered Europe this year alone. Its awful.

Be careful. The liberals on this forum are gonna crucify you for questioning reality
