Czech Romanies face discrimination at work, school -- report
According to the report by the European Network Against Racism (ENAR), there is both latent and open discrimination in the Czech Republic and it is most often Romanies who are its victims. But the report says that racism is not dramatic in the country.
...
The Raxen report states that Romanies are discriminated against on the labour market mainly not because of their ethnicity, but because employers in general believe that they do not work well and do not attend work regularly.

The report says that Romanies have been moved to the outskirts of municipalities. It writes that up to 80,000 Romanies live in ghettos.

Raxen report says that Romany children continue to be "segregated" in education as they are sometimes automatically placed in special elementary schools for slower pupils, and do not achieve higher education as a result.

Much less in the spirit of holiday cheer yet another report on the sorry fate of the Roma minority in the Czech Republic comes out. Particularly interesting is the spin that is put on the report by the Czech news agency: the Roma are not discriminated because of ethnicity but because their employers believe they do not work well. This, of course, is how much of racism manifests itself - economic segregation through ethnic prejudice. Racists all over the world say: I don't have anything against them but they just don't want to be like me. This also dovetails with the statement that "racism is not dramatic in the country". This is accurate in the sense of 'scientific racism' that is explicit belief that other races are "biologically" inferior. And in that sense the Czechs have a long tradition of anti-racism. However, where it matters, the Czech Roma are in a position of a discriminated minority and it doesn't make much difference what ideology is behind it.
