That makes you left leaning to an American’s perspective. The political spectrum over here is farther right, even the left in the US is technically right center.

Ask a European their opinion on the Romani and watch your perspective change

I agree that there’s a lot of anti Romani/Traveller sentiment in Europe but I’m not sure that alone swings the political compass so wildly.

Its definitely relative what is considered left vs right in Europe, especially since most countries over there have multiple parties (a good thing). But in general the American Left more closely resembles the “general” European right.

Looking up statistics for which countries are considered more democratic or more liberal, USA is always very far down the lists. Even compared to Italy.
