Poznan, Dogs, and Roma
An old story is re-appearing in the Polish Press: The story of dogs (and other animlas) living in extremely bad conditions in Roma camps, this time around the city of Poznan. Some of the pictures in the article are old (the one from the dog on matrasses in a box is from last year).
Theme: Roma mishandle those poor dogs, and the dogs are removed. Not a word about the fact that these dogs do not live any better or worse than their owners.
Bad.

Netflix: Suburra
A new Italian Netflix series, “Suburra” showcases the Mafia and its life. Unfortunately, they also include a young Rom who is one of the central figures of the series.
Bad – as it reinforces the stereotypes.

Beggars in the San Francisco Area
The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) in the San Francisco Bay Area has seen a large increase of panhandlers and beggars some of which are most probably Roma.
Bad publicity for all.

Special Movie
Not your average movie. It is a gay one, with rather middle aged protagonists, one of which is a Rom.

Settlements?
Why are places where Roma live called settlements??? Isn’t this a form of racism or discrimination?

Why are places where Roma live actually called settlements??? A worthwhile thought.
