If you read the article from my thread (and there is another in the same forum about the Ukraine), it is often anyone who is "freaking out" about the economic situation. The first groups, almost always attacked, are the Jews and immigrants. Other minority populations also get targeted, but it depends on the country. Attacks or anti-Rom behavior here would almost never occur, quite simply because many don't even know who they are, so they can't stereotype them.

Anti-Semitism is not limited to political spectrum, education, or geographical location. The rise in anti-Semitism in the former eastern Bloc countries, really isn't surprising, and I see it rising in more and more places. I believe we will see its rise in Western Europe and Latin America.
