Anglos in general have a weird view of gypsies. It's very... limited? I guess it's because they do not have real first-hand experience with them, and I am routinely amazed when some American comes in and proudly declares his gypsy heritage without understanding what he's doing (because for some Americans their heritage is Very Serious Business for unclear reasons).
Gypsies are however fascinating. While hating niggers or jews often descends into psychotic theories, gypsies are absolutely everything you read about and even more.
The basic thing of gypsies is their .... "gypsiness"? There's a set of pseudo-cultural values and rules that define a gypsy, and those who do not follow them aren't gypsies even if they are Roma by blood. Conversely, a non-gypsy can show "Roma virtues". If you ever meet a Gypsy that reads, has a non-shit job or doesn't steal, there's a good chance he won't be recognized as a proper gypsy by their society at large. All the Roma that speak publicly or try to take part in the grievance Olympics aren't probably recognized as gypsy by their brethren. Why is this important? Because every non-gypsy is a legit target. Stealing, robbing, kidnapping, violence against non-gypsies, it's all completely accepted if not viewed as positive because they are gypsies and you are not.
Standard cultural expression is alien to gypsies. They do not have a standard recognized history or kultur nor do they care: if someone tries to get info out of them they'll receive lies or whatever they want to hear in exchange for money. They only care for the most white trash show of material wealth possible. They do have a sense of religion, even if it's more akin to superstition. Most gypsies do believe in magic and rituals. Family and clan is paramount: they're incredibly patriarchal and women should shut up and steal for the family until married, and when married keep stealing and getting pregnant. They do like 'em young and uneducated, and the prestige of a Gypsy woman rises with her husband, age and number of children.
They do not exactly hate you, they merely consider you as prey. It's perfectly possible to speak and interact with gypsies, but you should always remember they don't exactly consider you as people worthy of basic respect. I've heard basic-level prostitution is a thing, but I pity the man so desperate to risk limb and STDs for gypsy pussy.
Education is anathema to them, and an educated gypsy is not a gypsy. That does not mean that the smart ones aren't knowledgeable in how to fuck with the law. Smart gypsies often have excellent lawyers and pay a lot to avoid problems. Likewise, they're laser-focused on how to fuck up with people, their schemes in pick-pocketing and robbing houses are often very good.
But again, they do not care about anything bar wealth and their family/clan. They don't even particularly care about being oppressed, their view of Nazi attempts to exterminate some of them is surprisingly neutral - again, they don't care about their history and if a gypsy got caught by the Nazis he was probably a bad gypsy. Most monuments to the "Roma holocaust" weren't built by gypsies and aren't managed by them. They do not care. Likewise with the infinite attempts done by the Commies to make them into productive members of society with varying levels of brutality. All failed or at best managed to get them to stay local.
Bar the most sheltered Euros, everyone knows that they aren't to be trusted. I personally don't hate them, but it's obvious there's no fixing their culture.
