Anti-Roma discrimination is extremely virulent in Europe, and generally accepted among even the social liberals
I wouldn’t call it a w but in the united states Roma are unironically white passing, elvis is the biggest example of this. The european brand of racism didn’t translate to the american kind 1:1. american racism is more centered on anti-blackness while european racism is more religious/nationalist. I do think the american version is becoming the more dominant form thanks to amerikkka’s unparalleled cultural dominance but Roma people suffer worse under the european kind, the same could be said for Jewish people.
Elvis was roma?
we had g-slur fortune tellers in carnivals for a while but even within that context nobody here knows shit about stateless european ethnic minorities. if you're really lucky maybe somebody knows enough about the holocaust
Race has basically nothing to do with the discrimination these people face here in the UK. It is culture formed around anyone following traveller lifestyles and all of them face near identical discrimination for it as if they're all one and the same, regardless of ethnicity.
