April 8th is International Romani Day. There's a lot I could say, but mostly just want to say thank you all for being a community where I don't have to be afraid to say I'm Gypsy. You'd be surprised how not all European leftists even care about us! So I appreciate you all. So thank you all, please continue to stay educated on our issues, and never be afraid to ask me any questions if you have any.

    I didn't think Roma were Romanians but didn't wasn't sure enough to say anything.

      It's ok! Many people get it confused, and it's not their fault, but it definitely sucks because Romanians hate us 😪

        The person saying this stuff wasn't being a jerk and is a long time friend of my roommate so I'm guessing her intentions were good but had some bad Intel.

          Yeah don’t worry I don’t doubt it! A lot of misinformation is out there about us.
