Yes. Leftists tend to celebrate the accomplishments of those whom they classify as "oppressed." If they consider Roma oppressed, then they're the good guys.
You can see this everywhere. The middle east, etc. It can lead to absurdity like when Hollywood directors, tenured academics, and trust fund babies demonstrate their solidarity with the oppressed by making fun of the middle class and conservative/religious poor people.
It usually as simple as that. It can get complicated, however. I'll stop here so as not to stir up trouble.
