While a person who is not Roma only needs to send two messages to a landlord or real estate agent before they can view a rental property in Hungary, a member of the Roma community has to send nine. This is true even if they work as a dental technician. Researchers from CEU and ELTE conducted a representative study on discrimination against the Roma in the Hungarian rental housing market.

    You are wrong, i read your text completely and you obviously did not read what i wrote as otherwise you would have never came to the conclusion that i skimmed 2 words. Your whole text talks about “them” and “they” which is imho racism and fits the article which states

    Bori Simonovits, however, noted that when they asked Hungarians to justify their views on discrimination, many began their sentences with “I’m not racist, but…,” only to follow that up with statements that fully embodied the concept of racism.

    Most who don’t want to see that those views are racism usually don’t talk about it, because they don’t want to confront that it is racist and wrong. To be a bit more precise and not to try to go aggressively against you, it is prejudice which everyone will encounter from time to time, but you should realize that you cannot say things about a whole “group” of people. The sentiment to put everyone into a category, might help evolutionary, but is wrong. Just think about Families and especially their Kids. Can’t those change, can’t they be completely different from each other, even so they both say they are belonging to Group XYZ?

    Indicating problematic behaviors is right and correct but allocating to every “member of a group” is wrong and unhelpful.

    Even your remarks

    In other contexts, no, it’s not justified, at least not in general. Your take is good tho… We need to give them a chance, but it is so, so fucking tiring and hard not to be racist against them…

    Don’t change that. You are still talking about them and vaguely about “In other contexts”. No its never justified. Also no it’s not hard to not be racist against anyone and with some training it comes natural, if you want it.
