I meant to include a * that some communities prefer the term gypsies despite its negative connotations elsewhere.
That said, yeah I know there are communities of Roma and of Travelers in the US, just haven't lived close enough to them to see the prejudice. Similarly not lived near a reservation or large population of American Indians. But those stereotypes still exist.

I have issues with Walmart, but I'm generally neutral on them. They are buying more locally, and a job at Walmart pays better than the summer job I had for high school - a local downtown dept store, I got minimum and nothing more for 2-3 years - they have issues, yes, but no company doesn't. I do need to read up more on the lawsuit that just got bumped out of class action status though. I agree that there's some discrimination but I also agree that it's not necessarily a corporation wide policy that falls under class action.
