Saying shit like this is revolting and bigoted.
We've a bit of a mess over in Irish twitter now because a rake of dopey yanks have waded in and started saying mad shit about how travellers are white therefore they don't face the same kind of oppression they do.
Irish travellers face racialised, systemic, and rampant bigotry everyday. Your history and dynamics don't apply here lads, wading in and trying to apply that framework is a joke and makes you look like cunts.
Now, I know I don't have to worry about this shite here, most of you are sound and not libs, but it needs to be said. Some of the shite I'm seeing yerwan in the screen up there along with her lib cheering section saying about travellers is revolting.
A lot of Romani-specific antiziganism stemmed from the idea we were inherently criminals from the start, therefore being able to move around wasn’t wanted. Rather than “you can move and then easily commit crimes” but moreso “you commit crimes and then move” if that makes sense. Many laws in the middle ages said gypsies could be put to death if entering or leaving certain countries.
