First, the term gypsies is derogatory and the correct name is Romani or Sinti, for one of the cultural subgroups.

For centuries, there has been discrimination against the Romani people, primarily because it has been an unknown culture and people have looked down upon them as a whole. Generally speaking, they are nomadic, but this is because many countries and/or towns banned their presence, even before Hitler. During the Holocaust, 1-1.5 million Romani were killed and many were experimented on. Hitler had an issue at first in regards to the Romani because of their Aryan background, but he decided to focus primarily on 'cultural impurity,' lack of education, and unemployment. Testing their blood to see how much of a Romani they were in order to decide whether or not they should live.

He was mentally impaired and thought the German race was the best and thought that by killing off anything that interfered with his plan was best, he didn't actually know what he was doing was wrong.
