Anti-Romanian sentiment

Not to be confused with Anti-Romani sentiment.

Anti-Romanian sentiment, also known as Romanophobia (Romanian: antiromânism, românofobie), is an animosity, hostility, hatred, aggression, and behaviour that consists of stereotypes or prejudices against Romanians as an ethnic, linguistic, religious, or perceived ethnic group. It can range from negative personal feelings of hatred to institutionalized, violent persecution.

To varying degrees, anti-Romanian discrimination and sentiment have both been present among the populations and governments of nations that border Romania, either towards Romania itself or towards Romanian ethnic minorities that have resided in these countries. Similar patterns have also existed towards other ethnic groups, both in the region and elsewhere in the world, especially where political borders do not coincide with the patterns of ethnic populations.
