Are Gypsies the most hated minority in Europe?

BBC News:

Gypsies are the most hated minority in Europe despite centuries of persecution and the Holocaust, it has been claimed.

Up to half-a-million were killed by the Nazis - but their plight is often forgotten and they remain "demonised".

The comments were made at the National Holocaust Centre in Nottinghamshire, where a conference on the treatment of gypsies and travellers is being held.
