I was in Ireland in 2002 and Prague in 2003 and I saw more Roma in Ireland than in Prague, oddly enough. I was never bothered by them, but I also tried to avoid situations where they were.

I've heard stuff recently comparing the Roma to First Nations in Canada - ostracized, demeaned, suppressed and stereotyped by unflattering characteristics. I simply do not know enough about the entire Roma culture to comment more on this, it's just something I've heard.
