No one is fair game to be poked fun of anymore - not even the gyspies. A human rights group - the European Center for Antiziganism Research - has filed formal complaints in Germany against British comic Sacha Baron Cohen over his “Borat” film. I didn’t know the gyspies were organized enough to have their own center for antiziganism research. Hell, until a few minutes ago I didn’t even know “antiziganism” was a word!

This isn’t the only controversy I’ve heard over “Borat”. The Kazakh government is upset, the White House has turned him away, Mahir Cagri is suing him, and now the gypsies are pissed.

Why can’t we all just calm down about what other people have to say about “us” as a group, whether being grouped by ethnic, socioeconomic, or any other factor?

Here’s a newsflash for you (gypsies, I’m talkin’ to you); People have prejudices. Period. We all have some internal prejudice towards “others.” This is part of the human condition. Get over it.
