I guess as long as it's not a French Priest with a British accent. The French are okay with it.

North Africans? The media would never tolerate white French behaving in such a manner.
Never heard of Roma originating from North Africa, but I have heard the phrase, “ready, fire, aim.”
“the Roma families, who left the site in Marseille’s 15th arrondissement (district) “without violence”, police said.”
Well, at least when the gypsies see a mob coming down the road at them, they know it’s time to move on. Probably why they are still around, after all this time. They are parasites, but they’re smart enough to find a new host before they get exterminated.
America has similar "Roma" problem called Washington DC (aka Mordor-on-the-Potomac).
A similar solution might be required, once attempted by the British.
Roma come from India but they are a bother sometimes with their thievish ways and need to be sent packing. Long ago the French sent their Roma to Louisiana. Spain sent there’s to Mexico. They have given the west much—like music and dancing (Flamenco)but they tend to disrupt things. They will steal anything that’s not nailed down but they never kill or murder.
If you go to Europe to visit, you need to be vary wary of the Roma or Gypsies as they used to be called. They prey on tourists and even get little kids in on the act as they try to pick your pocket. Had this experience in Florence. Unwary tourists seem to be their favorite prey.
I understand. You should probably direct your comment to the guy who thinks they come from N. Africa.
I had assumed that the poster was referring to the folks who live in the 15th and 16th arrondissements as the North Africans, which is why I posted a picture of the mayor.
I spent my whole childhood looking over my shoulder because my mom said that Gypsy's steal blond hair/blue eye little girls. my sister in law is a gypse. tore our family apart.
Uhhhh...”ease restrictions on the (Roma’s) access to the
“jobs markets”???
Does anyone think they’re interested in normal jobs?
Who would hire them without being forced to, since their calling card is theft?
“Long ago the French sent their Roma to Louisiana.”
Man, don’ you be tellin’ no coon ass such a ‘ting!
;^)
I worked for years in a major Boston hospital and on occasion we’d have a gypsy as a patient in the ER or on one of the inpatient floors.The staff of the floor/unit involved was always alerted to such a situation as was security.A night nursing supervisor for the medical floors once told me that she once saw a group of gypsies who were camped out in a hallway while their “king” was an inpatient wheeling a brand new and very expensive EKG machine out the door.She said that as far as she knew they got away,security wasn’t fast enough.
They should come to the US and join the Occupy people. They’ll be fine. /sarc
Especially your daughters
I had a French lady friend in Texas. She was fond of the music of this one Cajun-descended local singer/songwriter.
Once at a concert of his, another Cajun came up to her and started speaking in Cajun French.
She understood him with some difficulty, and it dawned on her that it sounded like a very old dialect of continental French.
Ping.
I was talking with a Cajun aquaintance last week who said exactly the same thing - the local patois is different from continental French because it has been spoken in relative isolation since the seventeenth century. They say the same thing about the Quebecois dialect.
