Roma are degraded and reminded of their degraded status
Evidence
As I argued in this book, Romanies are not only constantly degraded, but also constantly reminded of their degraded, inferior, transgressive, repulsive status. One cannot only understand this phenomenon by addressing prejudices not just as an issue of psychological processes but also as an issue that concerns more the dilemmas, contradictions, of mainstream liberal democratic society, and the actual clashes between (national and European) creed and actual practices. — Cristian Tileagă, The Nature of Prejudice, 788
