The Romanians Are Coming

That said Romanians are not Romani and G*psy is a slur unless you're Romani it's exactly like the n-word. Lots of racism in the comments and yes all of Europe need to take a hard look at themselves for their treatment of my people. That said Romania is an exceedingly special case in that they enslaved Roma for over 500 years in the exact manner the U. S. enslaved Africans however here we teach the history and in Romania they hide it. Maybe correct the way you teach history and the world won't get so confused.

I am a mixed Romanian/English citizen with parents from both countries and I can actually say that this was painful !

Its true Romanian does have areas that frankly you are afraid to walk through but !!! most of it is a normal country with normal people. Why do people try to move their political agendas by making documentaries that portray the bottom of the barrel ?

If you go though the UK, you will find similar people that are British and live in similar conditions !

I for example have a degree, a job, a house, a English wife, my friends are of mixed races ranging from Romanian, African, British, Oriental and all of them function well in the society, contribute and to be frank if we didn't need immigrants why are we letting them in ?

The person sitting at home claiming benefits because they cant be asked to work: WHO DO YOU THINK PAYS FOR YOUR BENEFITS ?

In conclusion quite a few (birth) Brits were disappointed with this weak attempt to denigrate a nation of hard working people !

This documentary was heartfelt and portrayed both the good and the bad, with the bad mostly struggling people who, if they were British and not foreign, would be viewed as having mental health problems instead of just being inherently 'bad people/ thieves/ criminals'.

I think the other reviewers have misunderstood the documentary. It makes very clear that only some of the Romanians filmed are Roma, and it is clear about which they are. It films people who come to the U. K. with absolutely nothing, but it also films those who have qualifications and jobs, who came from a life they loved in Romania (see: the nurse). I thought it was an honest and unbiased series, and it opened my eyes to a lot. I really enjoyed it and found it incredibly touching in places. It also made me laugh at times, and I feel I've learned more about the reasons people migrate to the U. K. - as well as how difficult it can be for people. I found it shocking that people sometimes have to live in such conditions, and I thought all who were filmed are brave, with most putting up with awful lives for the good of their families.

You can make people from any nation look like this.

The Americans are coming. The Europeans are coming. The Russians are coming. The Chinese are coming. So what ? Everybody "is coming the same way" when you search for people at the bottom of any society. How do you people think Nazi propaganda started in Germany ? It's the same with the ethnic Hungarians from Romania. They make these Nazi movies to tare down the country they live in, while at the top of Romanian society. I wonder how live of this "Romanian" director Fechete, looks like... living in Romania at the top of the Romanian Society. So watch this movie and get to know who's coming, through the eyes of a naive and frustrated wannabe something ... who knows what.

All this " documentary" is made with derogatory language about ROMANIANS versus gypsies, nomadic population came to Europe from India in the Middle Ages and found in all European countries. This awful "documentary" make a deliberate confusion between ROMANIANS and gypsies.In another EU countries(ROMANIA is EU member since 2007) most of Romanians who works there have highly intellectual qualified :doctors(we have a niece who is head of department, neurology specialist at a hospital in Leipzig!!!),architects, engineers, IT developers etc. but also skilled workers...we have now a new president , elected from the German minority of ROMANIA, Mr.Johannis. ROMANIA is the seventh EU country as population, as well as one of the leading NATO members in Europe.We ROMANIANS have built and Holocaust Memorial in Bucharest!!!!!, for Jews and gypsies!!!!WHERE IS DISCRIMINATION against Jews and gypsies in ROMANIA????in ROMANIA are 619000 gypsies(official census2011)-that is 3% from TOTAL POPULATION of ROMANIA.There are European countries where the number of gypsies is much higher compared to the total population:Spain, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, etc.gypsies are nomadic population came to Europe from India during the Middle Ages!!!As well party of the Hungarian minority(5% official census 2011 from total population) it was in various Romanian governments from 1996 till now.If you want to be respected, you need to respect others.Look at the beam from your eyes before you see the speck in the eyes of the others! I am already sick when I saw that hypocrisy,ROMANIA is a model in EU for how WE treat minorities , gypsies including -Barroso ,the former President of the European Commission said again and again .Because "a lie repeated obsessively will be for fools the TRUTH , ultimately". Did you know in the name of "positive discrimination" and not to "disturb" packs of gypsies and especially of their "sensitivity", that are offered them places in colleges and universities with NO CONTEST???? We ROMANIANS are discriminated, in no event minorities, including of course as well as the gypsies.Enough with the double standard.I just remember 1st of January 2007, our entry in EU.Ten(10) Ridiculous journalists from UK-sorry,just from England!-expected waves of Romanian immigrants at BUCHAREST Henri Coanda International Airport.SURPRISE!!!three (3)Romanians went in UK on 1 January, and until January 10 another 20 Romanians. I have seen your behavior on vacation, at some hotels in continental Greece and Greek islands, Italy, Spain, Turkey.Apart from poor education and excessive alcohol consumption, do you have something else to offer in Europe?
