Extremely negative and racist. We have some sayings such "why are you so filthy? Are you a gypsie?" Or like "eat your food, otherwise gypsies will come to take you away." . They are extremely common among greek cities and villages. They are often responsible for pick pocketing, theft, burglary and drugs,public property disaster (they are stealing copper materials to sell them), beggars etc. Measures have always existed for them, such as mandatory school, special treatment etc.but are largely unsuccessful. Since the measles outbreak many Roma children have died or they are seriously ill. Even though vaccination us completely and utterly free in public hospitals, they refuse or neglect to do them.
