Madonna was booed after she spoke out against the discrimination of Gypsies in eastern Europe during her Wednesday night's concert in Bucharest, Romania.
In the middle of her two-hour show, the Material Girl paused for a moment and began to discuss the treatment of Gypsies, also known as Roma or Romanies, in eastern Europe.
"It has been brought to my attention ... that there is a lot of discrimination against Romanies and Gypsies in general in Eastern Europe,” Madonna said, “It made me feel very sad."
Thousands of fans began loudly booing her.
A few cheered when she added that nobody should be discriminated against, "We don't believe in discrimination ... we believe in freedom and equal rights for everyone."
However, the boos returned when the pop singer mentioned the discrimination against homosexuals and other groups.
