Madonna got booed in Romania after lecturing the crowd about the level of discrimination in eastern Europe against gypsies.For instance, maybe they booed her because she talks to them like kindergartners.
Madonna said:“I’ve never been to Romania before and I am happy to be here. But I found out that there is a lot of discrimination against gypsies in Eastern Europe and that makes me very very sad, because we don’t believe in discrimination against anyone. We believe in freedom and equal rights for everyone, right? Gypsies, homosexuals, people who are different; everyone is equal and should be treated with respect, OK? Let’s not forget that.”
Despite what you may read on these other fly-by-night websites (like, say, uh… the Associated Press…)I don’t think it’s quite simple, normally I would agree with Madonna about discrimination but in this case I don’t think it was wise for Madonna to scold people in a place about people they know more about than she does.
