ELI5:Why are people racist towards Gypsies?

Hi Reddit.

Since I'm from the USA I haven't had much interaction with the Romani people (are they the same?) or their haters. What is the supposed issue? Not trying to cause problems just would like some explanation. It seems odd (then again I suppose all racism does from the outside). Help me understand this?

Well for starters Gypsy/Romani =/= Romanian. 

Many people hate gypsies because they are a nomadic people who tend to not integrate at all into their host nations (even going so far as to not send their kids to schools) and have a culture centered around theft or scams.
