"This is not ethnic cataloguing"

[Don_t_fight_the_hypothetical]

Sure looks like it to me.

Italy:

“The home minister, Roberto Maroni, has now announced that all the Roma will be fingerprinted, including children. “This is not ethnic cataloguing, this is the ultimate safeguard of their rights,” he said.”

Once again, government saving us from us.

Silly me. I’d think safeguarding their rights would involve, oh, preventing mobs from burning out their camps.

And if I were part of a minority that had seen a mob burn out my camp I don’t think I’d feel too much guilt stealing from members of the majority culture.

Yes, we will house them in special group homes to protect them from the population – away from the cities where they’re especially vulnerable. Right now we’re looking at islands in the South Atlantic. Of course the government will cover all the relocation costs, and provide them with three hot meals and cots as well. They’ve never had such a generous offer as this, and should they refuse it, it will be clear evidence of insanity, that needs treatment, away from those stressful cities…
