The paper pays attention to the attitudes of people belonging to the majority population of Slovakia toward an ethnic minority of Roma people. The data presented in the paper were collected during the ethnographic research in 2015 in a village located in central Slovakia, in Horehronie region. After presenting the results of the data analysis we outline a theoretical framework, which could be used in designing a future field research. We suggest that the concept of symbolic classifications by Mary Douglas (2003, 2014) and the theory of moral emotions developed by a cultural psychologist Jonathan Haidt (2003) can be combined and implemented. We focus in particular on the group of other-condemning moral emotions.
