    “One thing that surprised me about the Czech Republic is the insane levels of racism Czechs exhibit towards anyone brown. There are lots of Hungarian-speaking Ukrainian Roma at the Prague main station currently, effectively stranded. They don’t get access to the same refugee services white Ukrainians do, because, according to Czech authorities, they have Hungarian passports. This makes them EU citizens, therefore ineligible for refugee status, and refugee services.

    Hungarian citizenships were indeed distributed by Viktor Orban among Hungarian-speaking minorities in neighboring countries. This, and the occasional financial handout guaranteed a reliable pro-Orban voting bloc during elections, but now it has become a problem. Using this citizenship business as justification, Czech authorities wanted to ship the stranded Roma back to Hungary, but Orban refused.

    Now it turns out that of the 5500 Roma the Czechs vetted, only 150 of them had Hungarian passports. Worse, the Czech authorities knew about this for weeks. This didn’t stop them from claiming (i.e. lying) that most Roma there are actually Hungarians, and pressuring the Hungarian government to take them. The Czech authorities just wanted them out of the country, because they are Roma.

    In Brno, city hall representatives outright stated that they won’t be helping Roma women and children from Ukraine, period. They brought out the usual rhetoric: they’re Hungarians, they’re stealing, abusing the system, etc. None of this has been substantiated so far.

    Czech people really do revile Roma, to the extent that is actually worrying. Ironically the socioeconomic problems with Roma are almost entirely the fault of previous Czech(oslovakian) governments. Back during the Soviet era, (Hungarian-speaking) Roma were forcibly deported in large numbers from southern Slovakia to Northern Czechia, to work at the growing heavy industries. This of course destroyed their existing communities, and “tossed them into the wind” so to speak. Upon arriving to Northern Czechia they got little to no formal training, and so were mostly relegated to the lowest paid, most basic jobs. And then the 90s happened, the industry collapsed, and with that came joblessness, poverty, social problems, framed by the virulent racism of Czech society. The results were of course predictable.

    And before anyone Czech gets upset in the comments, remember: all your talking points about Roma can also be made 1:1 by a German Neo-Nazi about Slavs. Within your own racist framework, you have no counter-argument to that. So if you perpetuate prejudice, hate and stereotypes, you’ll only end up inadvertently calling yourself subhuman.”

  3. Adam Something being wrong again isn’t even a surprise anymore

    And I love “if you dare to argue with me you are a Nazi” at the end
