The Same Old Story

Well, as the world turns, the sun rises and sets on the same attitudes that have always existed for thousands of years. Unity is always just out of reach of human rulers. If you have been following world news, recently in Italy the Prime Minister passed a decree deporting all Romanians that have committed felonies. While this is logical, the xenophobic tendencies of the Italian people are being egged on by increasing incidences of violence etc caused by immigrants.
For example, since Romania has entered the European Union there has been a massive influx of Romanians in Italy, and along with it an increase of delinquency. However now the "discomfort" of having an increase in immigration is in an increasing number of cases turning into racism and prejudice.
It all started with the murder of a Italian woman last week for which a Romanian youth is accused. From then there have been incidences of aggression on Romanians. Friday a group of masked Italians beat up three Romanians. Yesterday in Turin an Italian man fired, from his apartment balcony upon a parked car with a Romanian man in the driver’s seat. Two shots fired, no one hurt but when he was asked why he did it, he responded that his girlfriend had a heated argument with a Romanian woman in a club a few hours before and in his indignation for Romanians he fired upon the man in the car.
