a group of people sharing the same culture, history, language is a race.

Race is not always defined by skin color.
Actually Raddave is 100% correct. Race is a social categorization based on physical attributes. Race is a poor form of categorization because humans are so mixed there are no specific genetic makeup which separate groups. And the use of race only leads to unfair treatments, stigma, assumptions.

What you were referring to was ethnicity or culture.

What trasher posted was not racist, it's possible to construe it as prejudice. But given the context and what I know about Thrasher I would say not.

I think @Thrasher may be not that far away from what really is going on and I suspect that the scammer is part of a bigger “family” locally

I live approximately 10min from Bromma. This Marcus Erik Sirisak Ehlin is 41 years old. Seems like he have another mobile nr, 46730253411. I also have all the numbers to his closest neighbors.
If there is anything I can do I would gladly assist.

Look at the friends see how some are the same with similar names...Maybe a band of French and Israeli Gypsies.

@puretime OMG what the hell is going on here. Maybe a network of Gypsies. No Offense but I have seen enormous Gypsy caravans in France and they bring lots of crime with them in the form of scamming old people and burglaries.

@Trasher ... really seems you have a problem with Frenchies, Jewies and Gypsies ... have you been scammed while in France ?.. stolen ?.. worse ?...
Calm down ... don't be afraid ... you're safe in the US now [emoji39]

BTW ...
Your words, as it's been vigorously demonstrated, are not racist ... LOL ... but may I say they really sound like xenophobia.

and FYI :
Xenophobia is the fear and distrust of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange.
Xenophobia can manifest itself in many ways involving the relations and perceptions of an ingroup towards an outgroup, including a fear of losing identity, suspicion of its activities, aggression, and desire to eliminate its presence to secure a presumed purity.
Xenophobia can also be exhibited in the form of an "uncritical exaltation of another culture" in which a culture is ascribed "an unreal, stereotyped and exotic quality".
The terms xenophobia and racism are sometimes confused and used interchangeably because people who share a national origin may also belong to the same race.
Due to this, xenophobia is usually distinguished by opposition to foreign culture.

I don’t think it is a good idea to put the details out there as to how the scam operates. Just my opinion. To me, you are just asking for more people to do the same thing....

That may be a reason you are seeing it happen more. The same watches thing is kind of weird, but still. I would give as little detail as possible as to the methods of how he is doing this and stick to providing details of how to track this piece of shit down.

It has nothing to do with Romanians. Sorry. It has to do with a family network of thieves. I guess there are no large groups of gypsies that travel around Europe in Caravans and victimize the local communities. I'm sure I have some Romanian blood to its irrelevant. What I was trying to say is either this guy moves from country to country or it's a family network.

@Thrasher ... I 100% prefer that way to describe the situation ... focused on the scammer and without any "distorsion" involving a specific community (gypsies) and/or nationality (french) and/or religion (jewish)
Thanks for cooling your words

Ireland
Just for information the Romani are a specific ethnic group not a nationality, they have their own culture and language. They were called Gypsies in Europe because they were mistakenly thought to have originated in Egypt. As far as I know they originally came from India (It is possible the Celts and Aryans did too but I am not an anthropologist nor would want to get involved in that debate) They are one of the many nomadic groups. Over time some have integrated into other ethnic groups. In Ireland our ethnic nomadic group are known as the Travelers (They call us country people). Their language or "Canting" is an amalgam of Irish, English and Romani.

I know very little about this but I do consider @manodeoro comment on xenophobia does apply as the Romani/Roma are a specific ethnic group. These comments would be akin to saying "all Irish are pigs" (not my quote it was Princess Margaret I believe). Just remember some Lawyers/ Accountants embezzle that does not mean they all do. Some Irish people drink to excess that does not mean they all do etc etc.

The scammer in this case is a thief to me nothing else matters. I care little for what ethnic, religious or national group he belongs to.
