Our hearts are full of wonder, and our souls are deep with dreams. - Old Romani Proverb In the 21st century, cultural differences and individuality are often celebrated and protected across much of the world, and given society\'s conscientious awareness of such phenomena, it is therefore all the more surprising when considering the ignorance or indifference that the world at large exhibits towards the Romani people. Otherwise known as the Roma, or by their popular misnomer, the gypsies, the members of this highly undervalued and grossly misrepresented community have long been considered outcasts.

The police, who were called to the scene, supposedly stood on the sidelines with their arms crossed, unwilling to intervene. The dangerous blanket statements issued by various European politicians in recent years are also a cause for concern. In 1992, Bert Karlsson, a prominent member of the Swedish New Democracy Party, claimed that Gypsie
