I think some of you have only really encounted Europeans on reddit and twitter if you think the switch to Hitlerian rhetoric is connected to Romani people specifically. No. It’s all minorities, it’s MENA people, it’s especially any indigenous group (Sami and Inuit for example), it’s slavs.
The Romani absolutely get European racists blood boiling at their mere existence, and you will see people presenting as “reasonable liberals” frothing at the mouth and their eyes bulging with racial animus over someone mentioning Romani people. But Inuit are subject to gdnocidal rhetoric on a daily basis from official government channels (And the rhetoric is worse in media, and even worse than that interpersonally), “centrist” parties will openly speak of building camps for MENA people, Sami get treated like some sort of ungrateful locust, and French media and politicians speaking about Africans is just plain disgusting.
