I'm not sure a public service broadcaster
should be perpetuating negative stereotypes. I'm angry at everyone involved, both infront and behind the camera.

I agree. They should have balanced it out by showing some footage of gypsies wearing top hats and solving difficult maths problems.

I have anecdotal evidence
that not all traveller girls want to dress like hookers and get married on their 16th birthday.
But all Ch.4 are doing is re-enforcing my own prejudices.

You're right,
the whole thing comes across as a bit convoluted.
Did Lousi Theroux do gypsies? I bet he could be more condescending in tone than this.

At least he'd look a bit deeper,
rather than giving up at "look at these people! They're barely human scum!"
