On the contrary, in the UK (and Ireland) people are extremely racist towards both Travellers and Roma. They treat both races with equal contempt.
I'm not saying this to excuse the negative behavior of the Traveller or Roma communities which I've been on the receiving end of several times.
However, we need to look at this from both ends and accept that us (the ethnic majority) automatically treating members of a particular ethnic minority as scum doesn't help to change their behavior.
