I think the problems will even just get bigger, with so many immigrants, because the culture is not that similar. People need to think more of humanity and similarities, not just differences. You're talking about immigrants now, but I was talking about nations/ethnicities of people who lived there for centuries and are very similar in culture, yet they were killed because of their religion or a name just 22 years ago, and there's still hateful rhetoric against them, as you confirmed by yourself. So I'm not surprised new immigrants would face discrimination too, it still doesn't make it right. People are individuals. New generations should learn from history, not repeat it.

Well, we accepted them with open arms in Germany, but then the problems started to occure, which is kinda normal, because they are from different culture. 60% of German-Turks voted for Erdogan, which is actually insane if you think about it. We had a good relationship with Turkey, and that is now gone, for who knows how long. It's a difficult time for Europe, and i hope it doesn't drift into terrible directon. But i think it will get better, but both sides have to change, not just the west-world, but also the moslem, to be more liberal. On the other hand, i think there will always be kinda of seperation.

Gypsies are Indian namads that migrated from Egypt and the Middle East to Southern Europe during the fall of the Eastern Roman empire. the term "Balkan Egyptians" was used during the Middle Ages. Roma/Romani, although not confirmed, most likely stands for "unclassified Roman empire citizens", since the word "rom" stands for "man" only in the language of the westernmost branch of their subgroup, where they migrated freely inside the Roman empire. Gypsies in Kosovo and Albania (as well as some parts of FYROM and Montenegro) still call themselves Egjiptjant or Gjupci. anyway, the majority of European Gypsies prefer the term Tzigane, after Athinganoi sect, meaning "the untouchables". if we were looking for a more appropriate term, Indian European would be a better choice than yet another nickname.

Indians/Iranians don't like it when you say Asian but you really mean Mongoloid/East Asian, right? then again, why am I wasting my time... you've proven your thought is unchallengeable.

Not at all in Czech Republic...nobody here cares if you're Christian or not and people here are kinda open minded about this topic Also, there is a big amount of muslims in our country. In my city, which is kinda small - around 54k people live here, I meet a muslim almost every day. The most popular restaurant here is owned by a muslim and they also work there. Czechs don't really fit into your definition of Eastern Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
