Then again that bit about the Roma is somewhat accurate.
On the other hand majority of the Roma refuse to assimilate, and on a much deeper level than pretty much any immigrant at that, so it's possible to imagine why this prejudice lives on.

But I've never met a European traveler who expresses an anti-Roma opinion. I've met several US travelers who have expressed some really severe anti-African-American comments.
So, yes, the prejudice is probably the same, but the level of hatred, and the willingness to express it, is not.
