It's almost like the reporter wanted to make this into some huge racial thing

The fact that some people are somewhat insensitive is not my issue here though. The story doesn't make sense to me.
Would Roma kids normally bath in public? EveryOne says they would not. Anyone familiar with Roma culture here?
I have worked in the social area before and during that time worked closely with about 50 Roma families. All of the kids I worked with would and did. Times have changed and at least in the communities I have worked (three) it was very rare for the new generations to still follow the old traditions of the culture. Or even their parents for that matter. These past two generations have shown a lot of change at least in the Southern European region.

I think one thing many of you are missing is, it's not that they died and didn't get any respect that's upsetting people, it's HOW they died. These you girls was out swimming with two of their friendes. They got too far out and was hit by a underwater current. They screamed for help but NO-ONE on the beach they where visiting tried to help them. Instead it was a life-guard on another beach that got to their rescue. However he was only able to help two of the girls and the other two, the ones on the picture, died. So the thing that gets me worked up by this article is the fact that even though they screamed for help no-one tryed to help them, because they where gypsies, and that makes me

Yes, that is why they have a reputation in ALL the countries that they live in as grifters and thieves. Because NONE of those countries offer free education to poor kids. If they can't pay for their schooling in Italy, Spain, U.S. etc...they simply won't get any schooling, they will never even learn how to read and so they MUST steal/lie/con to make a living.
