I thought this comic was super racist and got confused about the upvotes. Then I read the comments.

I'm way too European for this shit.

Nah, I just thought it was sarcastic. Like the Segregation-Era average racist attitute of: "Oh, there's not too many black people to taint the water supply" type of thing, and this comic is pointing out the racism, not being racist it self.

Then I read the comments and apparantly, it had something to do with funding.

The comic is super racist.

Or more specifically, it’s pointing out the systemic racism in the United States.

Just replace white with non-Romani and there you go

Is this a problem in some EU countries? I never heard of it before.

Yep, you'll run into it eventually.
