In reply to the discussion: Mystery girl taken from Roma home in Greece is 'at peace,' charity says [View all]loli phabay
(5,580 posts)On the other thread the word eradication was actually used to describe what one poster thought should happen to rom culture. Others feel that that the greek system is fair towards roma when even the EU commission on human rights frequently states that greece has contravened the rights of the rom and practices segregation and bigoted policies. Others state that the girl must have been kidnapped as she is not blood related to the family and is blonde and blue eyed when it is common in any adoption for the child not to be a blood relative or even to look like the adopting family, but for some reason this common occurance should be evidence of something more nefarious when dealing with rom. There is a misunderstanding of the rom law on adoption and how it is done between the families on a hand shake, and in the majority of cases due to a death or in order to send kids from areas that are no longer safe. How the family unit is different than that of outsiders. There are a lot of misconceptions and slanfers that lie below the surface as can be seen from the posts on both threads, and these fuel the age old hatred that prevails against the community. It interests me that if this was a first nation, native american family or a family from any number of other minorities then i am sure the reaction from DU would be much different outside ofvwanting it resolved.
