Watched a report on gypsies broadcasted by 20/20 or Dateline.
They live in mini-mansions with new cars, and a trailer house parked out back. They don't pay taxes and get away with everything. They grow up learning to be thieves and scum. They showed video of these young children (girls) dressed up like sluts and parading themselves around looking for potential suitors.
Pretty sure the show you're referring to was about the Irish "travelers" out of one of the Carolinas (I forget whether N or S). They're the folks who send their menfolk out to drive around the U.S. and offer to "re-asphalt" your driveway for $100 and who then coat it with used motor oil, as well as other scams of this type.
Real Gypsies can be good or bad; it depends on whether they were raised into the thieving culture or into regular society. I've never met one of the bad sort, although I've had "travelers" come by to try to talk me into letting them do my driveway or roof a few times.
