Order to remove racist sign outside Mallorca computer shop
By h.b. - May 12, 2008 - 3:39 PM Photo - Mimesacojea.com enlarge photo The sign orders dogs and Romanians to keep out. A racist sign outside a Beep computer shop in Alcúdia in Mallorca prohibits the entry of dogs or Romanians. The background to the sign is in the colours of the Romanian flag. The owners say they have taken the action after a group of Romanians have stolen items worth some 3,000 €, but elperiodico.com reports that the local police in the town have now ordered the sign to be removed.. The Mayor of the town, Miquel Ferrer, has commented that it is an isolated incident, and does not reflect the situation in the municipality. Source: Order to remove racist sign outside Mallorca computer shop It's sad that people still confuse Gypsies with Romanians.. in any case, no generalization should be right.

Well yes I agree, gypsies are giving Romanians a bad name... But look at the positive side, that will make Romanians anything but love Brazilians in their country!

Yes, but better if they write ostias (another word for "oysters").
The free translation is that "... in case of non compliance they will get the f*ck out of there". Quote:
