This is a problem in europe along with many other ethnic groups. I was mugged in europe, but by moroccans.

The open borders of the EU means that you will find people from all stratas of society and ethnicities in every country.

There was a good display about the Roma in the museum of human rights in Belgium. There are a lot of problems. The Roma don't want to assimilate into the societies of the countries they move into. They are intent on their nomadic, sparse lifestyle. It does not gel well with the EU countries and natives which often find Roma begging on their streets, etc. and these people are ostracized as well.
