jeemes 4,445 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) There are Gypsies who stop at the side of the road and do no one any harm. They will have a chat about this and that and dogs/horses. They are country people and usually leave without trace. Then theres p***y scum who know nothing about dogs/horses or anything else because whilst trying to kid everyone else they kid themselves. They are chavs plain and simple and have more knowledge of fashion and drugs than nature and the countrside. Thats my experience..

walshie 2,804 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 From what I've seen and read, it would seem it's only the bad ones that need labels. I'm sure if I met marshman in my mind I'd label him a "nice guy" rather than feel the need to specify his ethnicity. Conversely, if my garden was robbed by a couple of travellers, you can bet their ethnicity would be mentioned before anything else. This doesn't just apply to gipsys by the way.

And then confirmation bias kicks in and you start thinking all travellers (or whatever group) are wronguns 'cause you only take notice of the wronguns Quote Link to post Share on other sites
