You're precisely right.
Americans have never known gypsies so they sit on a high horse and lecture us. They have become a real menace in my city and it is much worse elsewhere. It is constant stealing, begging, trying to rob your money when you get cash from the machine, public defecation, making their home on private land and then burning it when told to leave.
They give Eastern Europeans a bad reputation here, because many people literally think they're just gypsy countries.
I hope our OP can now see that the emnity is not unfounded.
