between the local Romanian Roma community and non-Roma people. They are blamed for every perceived issue that goes wrong under the sun, which then kicks up a fuss over immigration in general. My town has a very high concentration of Roma and they are neither well liked nor well treated by locals and are viewed with a ton of suspicion. This is nothing shocking, as it's baked into their history, unfortunately.
