I'd say that have a worse history than Jews.  They are pretty much hated EVERYWHERE.

Because most people think they're not a real race. In a way, they're right, because "gypsies" in most cultures don't specifically mean the romas.

But yeah, I think most people these days think the real gypsies are just a myth.

I think it's because there is a lot of prejudice against gypsies (especially in EU)

of course it might be  a better idea to base your opinion on the real prejudice against them rather than completely fictoinal accounts on gypsies

We have them in Albania, since there are no Black people, or anything non white or Albanians in my birth country they are the defaule Niggers and get treated as such. Even worse, in terms of legal/social status...

Because they're nomadic, so they refuse to pay taxes oftentimes. People also tend to associate them with being lazy and think of them as thieves
