Are the UK Travelers, and Gypsies discriminated against as Black Americans were here in the US between the years 1955 and earlier?

The documentary Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, which supposedly attempted to malign the Travelers, and Gypsies mostly and paint a less favorable picture of them. Also, comments made by the Travelers, and Gypsies that appeared points to a lot of prejudice against them. I know it cannot quite be the same because they are all Europeans so it is not as if the Gypsies were a different skin tone, or come from a whole different nation. Even if the documentary was disingenuous, I believe some facts trickled pass about prejudice against Gypsies, and Travelers. They might not have thought much of it, less they edited out that footage. That being Travelers and Gypsies appear to be regarded the same way Black Americans were here, that we were trash, crooks, n*****s, and basic ”throwaway” people. Mostly what I read in the media here in the US up to that point I viewed the documentary, was that people of Middle Eastern descent that were catching the most hell and prejudice. Is the treatment Travelers, and Gypsies similar to Black Americans under Jim Crow? Are Travelers, and Gypsies regarded less than Middle Easterners? Are they looked upon as the lowest class in the UK? This is probably a question only UK Jellies know better, I am curious to know, though
