Europe’s tolerance image coexists with internally enacted exclusionary policies
Evidence
Europe demands of its citizens to show enlightened tolerance, without fi rst engaging in genuine introspection into its own practices of keeping others out of the scope of justice. This tolerant and cosmopolitan image of progressive Europe is shattered by the numerous examples of harsh, unfair and uncalled-for treatment of Romanies both in their home countries and abroad. Europe persists in professing its communal and community values for all, whilst at the same time perpetuating and enacting morally exclusionary policies that limit the freedom and freedoms of Romanies. — Cristian Tileagă, The Nature of Prejudice, 625
