I can not understand why someone..does not have what else to do, jsut hunting what is the worst about Romania...and you put here a photo with 'romanians', those are not romanians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!are gipsys!!!! they are all over the world not only in Romania!!!So please put some other photos wich reflact the image of the country from all the aspects!!!

I definitely agree with Adrian. Those all look like Gypsies. Ive been around Romania and that's only the stuff you see from gypsies and the homeless in small towns all across Europe. This can be taken very offensively to all of us Romanians out there. I'd rather see someone saying that we're all blood-sucking vampires than gypsy scum!

I've been to many places in the world including some very poor places - but Romania just seemed like a total shithole where nobody cared. I didnt go to Bucharest but a largish provicial town. It was appalling...

I know for sure that if you look closer in any of the developed countries you can find things like that in some areas. I've been there, done that. Romania is a beautiful country, no question about it!!

These are gypsies, only they collect old cars to sell them for their iron, only they still use horses in the cities even though they are prohobited.... Your page is an insult to all Romanians, please change the title!!!

They're bloody GYPSIES, not Romanians. Get some reliable facts, for pity's sake!

Typical nationalist Romanian comments above, as if it is up to you who decides who is Romanian. The people you call "Gypsy" ARE Rom, they existed long before the nation of Romania - which by the way exists mostly on land STOLEN from the Hungarian nation. Read about Trianon, injustice is the basis of the existence of your state. The ROM, a people which you call "Gypsy" lived on the land long before you "Romanians" even learned reading and writing. So did the Hungarians, they are the people that LIVE there. It is a disgrace to humanity the way you treat the Hungarian minority. How can such a backward society even be part of the European community? Romania belongs to the ROM - yet it is held hostage by those claiming to be "true" or "better" Romanians. It has always been nationalist retards like you that caused nationalism, fascism, communism, which are systems designed to destroy anything, including its "own" citizens. ROM never caused any significant trouble to anybody, they are systematically refused access to their rights as citizens. What you see, is a people struggling for survival. The title really is wrong, it should be: "Evidence about how nationalist Romania mistreats its ethnic minority." But hey, you are not alone, Hungarian nationalists treat the ROM the same way, so the problem is not the ROM, but the fascist nationalists.

Well seems history is not easyfor everyone.
OK the facts :
Romanian people has only 2000 yers . But they are the combinations of Dacians and Romans colons after 100 year.
Dacians were a group of Tracians family and they live in those lands thounsands yers before Roman empire .
In region called TRASILVANIA ( TRANS SILVAE ) = THE LAND OVER THE FORESTS (latin) was named in that way by Traian emperor of Rome who fought against DECEBALUS king of those lands ( biger than Romanian land is today) Befor that Romans Empire payed anual tribute (fee) to dacians to let Romans in peace ?
Where were HUNS then ? ATTILA cames 1400 years after that from ASIA .HUNS are the forefathers of the HUNGARIANS .
Gypsies is not a bad word , roma if yu prefer ( they are some romans people decendens or what ) They were brought here as slaves after year 1500.
So I'm not an extremist I don't hate them , but I'm against confussions betwen gypsyes and romanian people. Gypsyes people came also from Asia , INDIA , like germans , hungarians , and other migrating people. The Dacians , Romanians , francs , galls, italians , spanish , celts, norway ... were here from begining .
The Austro - Hungarians empire has Transilvania for almost 400 years 1500 - 1900 .... SO WHAT ?
Africa was coquered by Germans , Francs and English ,
India was UK property ... North America was also UK property ... that means only history now and maybe economical regrets . There are no empires and colonies in nowadays.

"ROM-anian", I think you are a retarded sovin who tries to confused other people from elsewere who read the comments !For you & everyone to know:
1.the people in the images are TIGANI.
2.we called TIGANI;the gipsy is the sinonymus in English which only show that this is the real word for them just like GIDANO,TZINGARI in other languages not "rom" like you said which by the way it is with 2 r(rrom).
3.TRANSILVANIA is a small part of Romanian teritory not "mostly" like you said and people evolved and things like Otoman & Austro-Hungarian empire who robbed romanians for long time were going down finally and because of this and for the guts fighitng in WW1 and loose,was made the pact of Trianon.
4.Even after 54years of communism,wich means eguality for all people and free education , tiganii of who you talking about don't manage to pass 4th grade,but that is nothing in comparising with you,hungarians,who from 1918 until this day don't konw and refusing to learn THE LEGAL OFFICIAL NATIONAL ROMANIAN LANGUAGE !!!You are the backward society,much more than the gipsies.
5.Let people know that you have schools,stores,newpapers etc. in maghiara(hungarian)language and romanians in those parts of Transilvania are forced to learn,buy and read in your Atilla killer language.

In the most democratric country in the world with a big population of hispanics,blacks,asians and others
to be a citizen you most SPEAK THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE and you are not allowed to high up o foreign state flag or demand of annexation of a part of the country with other.
That are the democtratic values who want to pass on in our contry ! ROMANIA was and will be of ROMANIANS.

Ps.I have a good opinion about this site until I've got over these pics wich such a title wich is an insult for romanian people.Before you make an article start interesting in more sources.

The McDonald's photo is priceless!

ROM-anian, the history is not for everybody. Not for you, that's for sure.
You have no clue about history and you are making up stories just to mislead people who does not know about Romania.
Fact: most of the pictures are showing Gypsies
Fact: it is not spelled Rom but Rrom (you do not even know as much)
Fact: Rrom was invented just to cover the origins of Gypsies but they (you) are in fact Gypsy. The Romanian word is Tigani (tzigani)
Fact: ceco is 100% right
Fact: Hungarians are part of Romanian Government ever since 1989 (how do we mistreat the?)
Fact: Gypsies are represented in the Parliament (how do we mistreat them?)
Fact: we have a special scholarship program for Gypsy kids. 95% of them refuse to go to school and their parents refuse to let them go to school
Fact: 90% of all crimes in Romania are made by Gypsies
Fact: 95% of the Romanian criminals outside Romania are Gypsies
Fact: 65% of the Gypsies have no work but huge fortunes. Where from? Answer: stealing, cheating, killing.
Fact: the other 35% of the Gypsies are living in the most miserable conditions by choice. They refuse to work and wash.
Fact: I was lying in the last two affirmations. Only 99% of the Gypsies go in one of the two. The truth is that there is 1% of the Gypsy populations who behave like they should in society
Fact: watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEH2gh-zsxM and you will learn the truth about Romania.
Fact: we have been accused many times by foreigners that we mistreat Gypsies and that is only because of the people like ROM-anian. We have a saying: the true thief calls everyone else a thief.
Fact: when the borders were open most of the Romanian citizens who afford to go outside the country were Gypsies. And they did many crimes in the countries they have been. This ruined the image of the Romanian people.

And one more thing which was discovered by historians a few years ago: when Traian, the Roman emperor arrived in Dacia he found out that the locals were speaking a language that was very closed to Latina Vulagara, the language that the Roman people was speaking (the high class of the Romans were speaking the classic Latin). This was amazing and the historians followed that lead. They draw the conclusion that the people who created Rome were in fact coming from this part of the world.

I invite everyone who wants to know the real Romanians to come here and meet us. I mean us the Romanians not the Gypsies. You can meet them too and you will learn the real facts about them.

We do not have the same level of living like the Western European countries. We do not have the most beautiful cities. We do not have the best streets. Please remember that we have been under the communist regime for almost 40 years.
We are friendly, we love everyone else. We welcome everyone in our homes. We share our food and our drink. We offer shelter and we help anyone in need.

But do not still from us, do not cheat us and do not try to kill us!

@ ROM-anian: after reading again what you wrote and how you wrote it I am convinced that you are not a Gypsy. You are HUN-garian and you are afraid to admit it because nothing you wrote is true.
I am also convinced that you are only trying to deceive people.
What I do not understand is why?
