The sign orders dogs and Romanians to keep out.
A racist sign outside a Beep computer shop in Alcúdia in Mallorca prohibits the entry of dogs or Romanians. The background to the sign is in the colours of the Romanian flag.

The owners say they have taken the action after a group of Romanians have stolen items worth some 3,000 €, but elperiodico.com reports that the local police in the town have now ordered the sign to be removed..

The Mayor of the town, Miquel Ferrer, has commented that it is an isolated incident, and does not reflect the situation in the municipality.

Disgracefull! And to think that the romanians have only come over here to do the same as us, to work and live in peace (yeah, right)
Look, there wouldn't be all this hassle if the spanish government just sent them back to whence they came!
