When did you last read a post railing against discimination of the Roma? Well there was that one Snarry fic with gypsies...
But seriously, great post. European racism is complex and very differently treated than in the US, and I realize that because of fandom I know more abotu American racism than I do about the French kind. I think we tend to be much more in denial about having a problem in Europe in general. In the US things can be very bad but it feels like there's always at least someone pointing a finguer at it, talking about it. I wish it was more often the case here.
Would anybody be interested in reading something like that? Yes, of course.
