English term or phrase: catch 22
Qualcuno potrebbe aiutarmi con questa frase? Non riesco a darle un senso..."Catch 22" può essere il comma 22? Ma poi come la rendo? Grazie! Ecco la frase che devo tradurre:
Therefore Roma community finds itself in the catch 22 situation which combined with the overwhelming discrimination leads them to the extreme poverty.
