text: that's true but rroma ("gypsies") are becoming more and more educated and integrated into Romanian society (as well as in other countries). And you can see that this applies to anyone who receives the proper education, regardless of background, skin colour, etc. Being raised in the proper environment where they can develop a motivation for learning is important. The problem is more to do with the fact that a great deal of rroma/gypsies are conservative themselves and want their traditions preserved.. which unfortunately and truthfully, is only hurting those who want to learn and improve their situation in life. Though it's true a lot of Romanians have put gypsies down because of their reputation for being criminals, which doesn't help the (potentially) good ones change their situation either.
