What you say is true, but I don't feel that there should be an onus on the group to do themselves favours in that way, in order to be treated fairly – given the great disproportion in power, it's really for govt bodies to act correctly and not to complain if the recipients aren't suitably grateful and emollient.
(I know you weren't saying that, but I think it is a fairly common feeling – not just wrt Travellers. It is a pretty fundamental issue in a multicultural society.)
