Hey Jow Forumsbros, our professor(I'm over 18, fuck off jannies) asked us to investigate international stereotypes for Romanians. She specifically mentioned not to write anything about gypsies, thieves or beggars since those are already very well known.
So how are Romanians perceived in your country?
Gonna read all the responses ITT in front of the class because I have a big dick.
not capable of learning the language.. even after 5 or 10 years living in the country
Isaiah Jenkins
Sorry gypsies are the only romanians I know
Charles Gonzalez
They have an unfairly bad reputation because they gypsies, mafias and prostitutes. There are plenty of nice and decent Romanian people over here.
Ayden Myers
extremely negatively and rightfully so
Michael Moore
Romanians in USA are all either professors of virology with a PhD in biochemistry or chicken rapists who shit outdoors
Jaxson Williams
They just fucking steal bro what the fuck do you expect from a bunch of gypsies lmao
Hudson Roberts
A society so shitty and amoral that has to compare themselves to gypsies to look good. Stupid and corrupt, the best chance of life their women has is to get impregnated by foreign semen.
Carson Wilson
There is a 36 year old Romanian woman at my job. She’s short and doesn’t wear any make up. She’s cute desu. I kind of want to fugg her
Luke Morales
They are worse than Turks, they only joined EU to come to Germany and get gibs. A lot of them act like cripples to get more gibs. They are dangerous people (especially the gypsies) and should be avoided when seen (some gypsy threatened me with a knife when he lost against my team in football)
Christopher Murphy
Also, for the love of god do not read this shit out in class, OP. Save yourself the embarrassment and just do some actual research.
Kevin Harris
Norwegians think you are a bunch of lowlife criminals and burglars, breaking into other peoples homes, stealing clothes that were supposed to be given to poor children in Ukraine and Syria, selling drugs and underaged prostitutes and so on. Even left-wing people in Norway hate you
The only ones I see are the ones on every street corner with a blanket around them, with a scrambling cup in hand, bothering pass-byers with the few 4 words they've been taught.
Cameron Lopez
Are romanian prostitutes bad at bed?
Logan Torres
I don't think people here even know anything about Romanians, except maybe for Transilvania and vampires. People here just equate you with gypsies, so Romanian=Gypsy with all stereotypes.

1. Brown 2. Dumb 3. Dirty 4. Violent
Brody Young
No opinion at all I doubt anyone knows Romanians are just migrated Indians even I found that out from here
Then again was Dracula Romanian?
Cameron Cooper
For decades Romania was the butt of a lot of jokes here. Somewhat less so in the last few years. I would say the reputation is moving from distinctly negative to less negative.
Main stereotypes: >mistreating Hun minorities >shit roads >dayworkers / construction workers willing to work illegally >lots of prostitutes And then there is also an occasional line about the girls being pretty and the language being an ugly ripoff of French.
As for my own associations / stereotypes for Romanians: >clever and pretty cool people >an appreciation of palinka >people working in transportation not really speaking any languages apart from Romanian
Isaiah Gonzalez
>not to write anything about gypsies, thieves or beggars lol what's even left then?
Badly. Somewhere around Russians (pic related). Unfortunately, plebs don't know the difference between Romanians and Roma. The fact that during the 90s gypsy crimes were reported as committed by "a Romanian citizen" certainly doesn't help. Also, negative stereotypes from the commie times. Jokes about poverty, shit roads, breaks in access to electricity, Ceasescu being a moron...
If I ask on the street, best case scenario they know nothing, worst they talk about Rome.
Nathan Richardson
I grew up in transylvania and have had magyar friends growing up. My parents and extended family speak romanian and hungarian, but unfortunately i never learned hungarian.
I think mistreated hun minorities is just propaganda on your side. From my experience growing up there people got along really well, a lot of people are bi lingual anyways or understand enough hungarian. Transylvanian slang has a lot of magyar borrowings, naturally. During more recent years I've noticed that there is an increase in magyar-owned convenience stores and butcher shops in my region. The meat is excellent so good for them.
I think we should have better relations either way. I'm interested in learning the language one day.
Hunter Flores
Jesus Christ I was going to drop some banter here but this whole thread is a gang rape. Leave Romania alone assholes
Henry Smith
the worst ''people'' in europe ugly, short, fat, smelly, disgusting monster language, horrible posture, low intelligence, no taste in anything, the intonation of how they speak is making my skin crawl, and of cours eall the regular gypsy traits, liars, thieves, honorless, no shame etc. i work with them.
Jace Peterson
We don't think specifically about Romanians, all of those eastern bloc post-soviet countries are the same.
Anthony Baker
In the UK, Romanians are seen as a hoard of brown gypsy criminals.
Sebastian Moore
I'm Romanian and I grew up in America. I've had experiences with a wide range of the Romanian diaspora as well as many friendships with diasporas from other countries.
My experience is that the Romanian diaspora is viewed positively in America. They integrate very well and tend to earn a lot of money either in white collar or truck driving jobs. I used to live at the house of a Romanian landlord, he owned 25 rental houses and had several other businesses on the side, all from scratch. In coastal cities a lot of them are in white collar/tech jobs. In fact a lot of Americans are envious of their success, which is more due to having experienced communism and poverty than anything else. Will and determination are big factors that in general make immigrants want to be successful, and this is the case with Romanians in America.
I avoid talking about my background because most Americans just assume i'm American, since my english accent is indistinguishable from theirs and I look like a generic white American. No one really cares anyway, which is a nice thing about America. The culture of America makes it very easy for people to integrate and become Americanized, something Europe has a very hard time doing due to petty rivalries and historical grudges. I feel kinship for this country and wanted to serve in the military, but unfortunately I was disqualified. That's all I have to say for now, feel free to ask any questions.

Cheap workforce. More backwards and balkanized than the locals.
Carter Jackson
plz dont be sad user. My parents got the roof of their house fixed and the workers of the company they hired were romanian. My mom made always sandwiches and coffee for the romanians in their breaks. They were really happy about it! I am sure you're a lovely romanon!
Robert Flores
>white >not a gypsy >have never stolen >never hit anyone >have a degree >everyone hates me anyway
Parker Garcia
You mean the turko-bulgarians from the south of the confederation, oftentimes mistaken for a sole entity called Romania? Well, here in the north we think that the gap between them and gypsies is pretty much non existent.
Dominic Gonzalez
I-I don't hate you a-user... do you want a hug?
Nolan Miller
>t. Hans Nemtescu >purest slavic blood in the country
Asher Reed
Not very well because we associate you with gypsies. But it's a lovely country with great (native) people imo.
usually, people think romanian=gypsy in fact both names are used interchangeably pretty sad tbqh
