I know that this is an isolated incident, but I feel that it should be brought to the attention of brothas planning to visit Romania.

I have read posts from Romanian citizens that the killer was a criminal gang member, and in fact there was a serious beatdown -- not just one punch.
Also, if you read what the Romanian police statements, then you will deduce that it was in fact a serious beating.
Media report:
BUCHAREST, Romania -- A 25-year-old Romanian man has been taken into custody and is being accused by police of attacking former Sacred Heart University basketball player Chauncey Hardy, who died Saturday from repeated blows to the head after an incident at a Romanian bar.
Romanian Basketball Federation chief Carmen Tocala told GSP radio that Hardy died Sunday, suffering two heart attacks following his beating Saturday night.
Police spokeswoman Mirela Gheta said the 23-year-old Hardy had severe head injuries and was in a coma when he was admitted to the hospital. Hardy died shortly after undergoing surgery in a Bucharest hospital.

I'm a brown dude and I was just in Romania and when I heard about this it didn't surprise me at all. Most Romanians are not racist, but there definitely are racist fuckturds in that country and when you mix alcohol and girls into the mix then it's pretty dangerous. This was the main reason I avoided rolling solo to nightclubs because it just takes one drunk racist fucker to ruin your night (or your life in this case). From what I've read this guy just tried to place his hat on a Romanian girl, and then her supposed boyfriend objected to it and punched him in the face and he hit his head hard on the floor. No way to know if race was involved, but if I bet it did.
In my case some Romanians thought I was a Roma/Gypsy. There was this bitch woman near the hostel I was staying at. Whenever I passed her street she would just give me this disgusting look and start yelling at me in Romanian. After this happened a few times I finally started yelling back, telling her to go fuck herself. She just kept yelling.
This was my first time in Eastern Europe, and I don't think I want to go back. Some people can be nice, but some people are still backwards as fuck and violent.

How dark are you? Light north indian dark or south indian/sri lankan dark? Do you think a darker Desi guy would get mistaken for a Roma?

Would like more details on what happened. I've never had any problems in Romania. Some of my Romanian friends are good friends with black basketball players there.

Something was really wrong with your appearance then. Did you walk around in sweatpants, sneakers and Adidas sport jacket? Do not.
