Half of the Roma in the Czech Republic live in social exclusion. According to the qualified estimates of the coordinators for Romani minority affairs that is almost 123 000 people.
According to the document, half of the Romani minority are members of the intelligentsia and the middle class. Many of those Romani people, however, still grapple with discirmination on the basis of their origin, even when they are educated, successful in their work, have sufficient incomes and are financially solvent, the authors of the document point out.
Public opinion polls demonstrate that the attitude taken toward Romani people in the Czech Republic is unchanging. For years they have been the least-liked minority.
Im actually content with the result eventhough it would be 5% of germans who are on social exclusion for comparison or 1% and its alot of romani, but still the stereotype is that 100% of romani are criminal, homeless, beggars etc. now it says roughly half of them are middle class.
