Politically incorrect
There's a degree of "racism" in Justice Minister Pavel Nìmec's
idea of lowering the age of legal responsibility from 15 to 14,
but it's not politically correct to talk about it. Theft and other
offenses against property are often committed by Gypsies and
other minority groups, frequently under the direct supervision of
a parent, and they'd be the ones most affected by the tighter
rules. The Czech media, which used to highlight the
disproportionate rate of criminal activity among the Romany
population, have now gone to the other extreme and only give
clues to a suspect's race when they show pictures. In the U.S.,
Afro-American comedian Bill Cosby broke a taboo by criticizing
black parents for raising future school dropouts, illiterates and
criminals. Little Gypsy boys and girls in the CR don't have a
famous celebrity fighting for them. Instead, the trend now is to
pretend that the problem of Gypsy criminality doesn't exist.
