TV Nova reports that police in the
Czech Republic are searching for a group of young Romani people who
allegedly assaulted three non-Romani people in the town of Varnsdorf on
New Year's Eve, shouting racist slurs at them during the attack. Police
are saying the attack was not racially motivated. Two of the victims
were hospitalized.
A series of anti-Roma
demonstrations took place in Varnsdorf several months ago as a result of
similar media reports interpreting incidents of assault in the area as
ethnically motivated. According to the latest information, a brawl in
the nearby town of Rumburk last summer now seems to have been motivated
by other concerns.
If our People continue behaving in that way - and yes, I do know there is racism leveled against ours all the time - it is not helping the cause at all and that is what counts.
