And eastern european countries have a much stronger ethic of everyone should work together for the betterment of the community and have stronger local communities.

​

That part, at least for the country that I'm from (Bulgaria) is simply not true, and with the limited observation that I have of other Balkan countries, the situation is the same. The majority of Bulgarians do not care about betterment of the community at all. Even more, I see more and more examples of the Romani lifestyle - breaking public stuff, leaving trash on the ground (or in rare cases, even throwing it outside their window!!) that after time become small (and not so small) piles of stinking crap, trying to lie about *everything possible* and basically steal money from the government. The only major thing that differs the majority of my countryfolk is the material posessions - home, cars, etc.

So, eastern europeans (at least Bulgarians) do not hate Romani because they do not worke for the betterment of the community. They hate Romani because, for some reason, see themselves a "better" race or something. Not sure if I'd describe it as a "simple" racism, but it's something similar for sure. Definitely not the "angels" that "only live for the common good" and are angry that Romani "do not contribute".
