Evidence
Instead of being āembraced for being tenacious, resourceful and adaptable, and for maintaining cultural traditions that value social ļ¬ uidity and cross-nation unity; all values that lie at the heart of the European idealā, Roma āare seen as a systemic irritant to power and the status quoā (Baker, 2012 ). ā Cristian TileagÄ, The Nature of Prejudice, 620
