Racist outbursts in Europe

Bulgaria is currently debating how to deal with its Roma minority. Last week, after skinheads attacked a group of Roma, a group of Roma attacked Bulgarians in one of Sofia's suburbs. The Bulgarian author Georgi Gospodinow writes: "There are many stereotypes about the Roma - they have a bad reputation. Although we've been living in the same country for decades, we have always looked down on the Roma, they were always pushed aside... Stereotypes rob others of their past, deprive them of their right to a biography, to their children, to their mothers, their mourning, their toothaches and their childhood... It's easier to beat up someone who's different and about whom one knows virtually nothing."
