Ditto. Totally new to me as well. Shows how long bigotry can linger, even when its original sources have been forgotten.  |

Well there are groups like the Romany/Gypsies who still face a lot of mistrust and hostility, especially in parts of eastern Europe, along with growing anti-Semitism in many areas, as well as other problems of growing intolerance. However generally Europe and N American are still a lot less hostile to differences than most of the world. |
