You cannot be taken serious. In a court trial you would be laughed out of court opposing such evidence with 'a feeling, a thought, a fancy'.

How many Romani friends do you have Kirk?

Like I said, I like and respect what you stand for, I just think your goal of changing peoples attitutes would be much more likely to succeed if you were to talk how you're talking right now, rather than using the words racist/xenophobe.

A romani person is a person of the Romani ethnicity (for lack of better wording). & I would have no idea with the second thing because I've never seen that movie

I normally do speak to people like this but threads on here tend to get heated and I get caught up in it like others do.
