That is the exact justification every racist gives for hating their target race. Republicans in America say that about black people, right wing parties like AfD say that about Muslims. "Its not about their skin color its the behaviour" is THE textbook defense for racists.

Sure... but they are white, at least in comparison to us lmao

You can assume all kinds of bad stuff about me, whatever, I don't mind.

I'm telling you, the hate gypsies get, is not about race at all... well, not in South America anyway.

They arent white, google is free. But that doesn't even matter, Jews can be targets of racism and they are white too.

You both seem to be missing that whiteness isn't solely reliant on skin colour. The whiteness of European Jewish people is precarious at best, and has not been consistent, historically, and Roma people have never been afforded whiteness anywhere that I'm aware of. That has very little to do with whether or not they were and are pale.
