Jesus, yeah that tracks. Not sure if you have seen it, if you mention Romani people (commonly referred to as g*psy) in any Euro-centric or adjacent subreddit you'll see the mask drop fast.
In some threads, USians will be talking about Romani folks quite reasonably and when time passes and it's end of work hours for Euros you'll notice a shift in rhetoric and the mask will drop. Some of the lefter USians will be confused, like, how are these folks so blatantly prejudiced? They really think Romani people are inferior? That they are all criminals?
Practically every European I've met has opened the conversation with a "joke" about the Romani. I don't even think Australia has a Romani population, but it's shocking how openly awful people will be about them. Like, Australia is a really fucking racist country, but visiting Euros seem to take that as a challenge.
