So should we be scared of them? Your post implies that they are dangerous if we are 'on the wrong side of them' surely that is a racist post?

No, you shouldn't be scared of them - but you shouldn't keep making digs at them either!
Gypsies have no interest in you, as you should have no interest in them. It's when settled folks start pro-activly doing stuff against gypsies that they get upset.
Being friendly towards them doesn't take much and you open yourself up to another world.
For instance, whatever gypsy camps look like from the outside, their houses are pristeen... but how many settled folk would know that? Instead they'd prefer to call them dirty and bad mouth them!
There is no point denying that gypsy culture is such that if you DO annoy them, you're in trouble - being friendly with them means I also get to know what goes on. But they have no interest in folks who keep their noses and their predijuices to themselves!
