The location of our research was the Ústí region in northern Bohemia that has the largest Roma population. Moreover, the research presents new faces of stereotypes in naming Roma in the Czech society. We discuss many aspects that provided the highest quantity of significant characteristics on which the ideology of anti-Gypsyism is based.
