So here's the thing. /r/Brasil, as usually on reddit, is ridiculously leftist. Since that british BIPOC got killed here in the Amazon our banner has been a red banner with the following phrase: ''Ecology without class struggle is gardening.'' That should tell you a bit about the place.
As most leftists places usually are, /r/Brasil is full of infighting and general seething, but we mostly keep to our domestic affairs, so while it's a good piece of drama it's usually hard to contextualize even for people who might know Portuguese as a second language.
And of course, i'm not going to translate all the good drama threads, they easily reach 500+ comments and usually the comments are 
However, this drama was so funny I just couldn't not share. I'm still not going to translate shit, i'll just hope Google Translator does a good job.
Anyway, here's the thread.

It's so fricking funny seeing people walk on eggshells and STILL get jannied. As you can (probably) see, some of the jannied comments aren't even bad, by any stretch of imagination. Still jannied. Afaik Gypsies turn any European into a Mini Hitler. Seems the hate for Gypsies not only is warranted but it's also something that transcends ideology. We don't have much contact with gypsies here in brazil, so it's not widespread hate as in Europe. But it seems that people that had contacts with Gypsies... didn't like it

The gypsy thing doesn't make sense for non-europeans because it is a very loose form of "racism"
Gypsies aren't an ethnicity. If they just lived in a house and got a job you wouldn't be able to tell they were gypsies, they'd just look like every other frog or kraut or hard-working American or whatever
That means that either you haven't met a gypsy and so don't have any opinion on them based on real-world interaction, or you have met a gypsy and you know you have because they have attempted to do some sort of crime on you, or have destroyed a pub you were in, or burned a car in your yard, or ripped the tiles off your roof
It's like asking people if they have a bad opinion of burglars. Gypsy is a behaviour, not a race

I have never caught a hundred burglars and they were the same race in a row though

in the UK the most common kind of gypsy is irish travellers who are literally just the same genetically as everyone else, like there's zero "race" element it's purely cultural. it's like if you decided to start a drug gang with your friends then claimed it was a vibrant alternative nomadic lifestyle

You're talking out of your butt, if you ever saw one in person you'd know that they stand out. They stand out by their behavior, by their language, by their clothes. They're brown for Christ's sake! Similarly if you had met one you'd understand why they are universally hated in Europe. One struggle

our equivalent of gypsies is irish travellers which is basically the same thing, but genetically they're just the same as everyone else. not all gypsies are brown either, like there's no genetic component here it's just cultural and they could just...stop doing this shit

wrong, in the Uk for example they are irish white, there are also many white gypsies in the rest of europe because they frequently kidnap native children and raise them as gypsies. And in southern europe there are also brown-ish natives there that have same color as gypsies but arent gypsies.

I think the closest thing burgers have to gypsies are hobos.
Except it's whole families of hobos refusing to consider having a job or living in a house.

Plus hobos don't really do a lot of curse-laying, unless they multiclass into hoodoo.
