Do you think this is racist and offensive?

[Mortimer]

The poster says "Is it possible that we have a zigeunerproblem (gypsy problem).Here are many racialists, pan-european nationalists, ethnic nationalists etc. (or how they prefer to call themselfes "insert") and many dont like roma so probably many will think its good but to me its offensive and racist. Also "Zigeuner" is very offensive associated, and like how they phrase it its very racist its similar as to saying "jwe have again a jew problem" and this is also very offensive considering the history and context. it would the same just to give you a example to better understand.

[JohnSmith]

[wildspirit]

I would certainly say that's bigoted.

it's like saying blacks are a problem because they are 12% of the American population but 90% of prisoners.

at first that looks like blacks are a real liability and a drag on our resources but you must realize whites probably would not be much better if they were that poor.

Maybe if Austria wants to fix the so-called Gypsy problem they must try to end the poverty of the Gypsies, assuming they are impoverished and that is why they may commit more crime.

its a little bit different then saying "blacks are a problem" its like saying "there is a black problem" only difference in nuances and slightly different worded, but the latter sounds more offensive and racist

Does Austria have a Gypsy problem?
I don't know that guy he probably is an populist.
But I don't agree - it is bad do say "there is a gypsy problem"
Gypsies are in Europe for many centuries, they were always hated, so the are just like they are.
It's time to do something with it and if we do that problem doesn't exist nothing will change.

1.gypsy/zigeuner has very negative connotation maybe not racial slur per se, but historically and in context very negative
2.if someone would say "there is a negroe problem" "there is a muslim problem" "there is a jew problem" you would know its offensive and dont question it, almost no one would dare to say that like that.
