You made some very robust stereotypical comments about travellers which is your experience, I am sure a lot of people have had experience of many people in many communities who uphold stereotypes as well but if we were to mention that we would be called racist, or xenophobic or bigot or similar, the comment in the Guardian hit the nail on the head in that Irish travellers and gypsy's in general are still not protected like other groups are in relation to being stereotyped and abused.

I suppose my theory would be that they’re seen as more of a community than anything else? and anti-community is less of a talking point. It is sad though. People should really start focussing on individuals to criticise instead of any group that they belong to.

I think just calling people out for insulting groups when they mean individuals is the most you can do.

You know my methods

travellers in my opinion get the rep they make for themselves
just like say the Chinese community get a rep for being quite, hardworking and beneficial |

POW! BLAM!
|
I'm sure there are some travelers out there who are respectful to the natives of the areas they park at, never cause fights, and tidy up after themselves when they leave.
I've never actually heard of a single instance of this, but there probably is somewhere. |

And even among people you knw who have experienced stuff, if there were no issues they won't say anything or...they wouldn't even know the people were travellers. I mean I only knew because they made a huge song and dance about how they were travellers and 'hard as nails' to try and intimidate me into doing what they wanted me to do...which everytime was give them free alcohol, which was always a no, regardless of what threats they gave me

I think that I've subconsciously been discriminated against by older people sometimes in my life, not always meant in a malicious way but it's definitely been there.

I meant that the older people subconsciously discriminate against me based off my age.
My god the way I put things across on here can be messy.
