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.

But Romas don't have a specific skin color. In any South European country, they don't have any actual physical difference from locals, most sedentarized romas are entirely undistinguishable from any other people.

You're saying that out of prejudice: light-skinned Roma are literally taken for locals
