Odd news today … A couple of Rroma is suing the organisers of a fair for using the name Gypsies. But actually they are right … Who would thing of calling a fair the N word.

How to deal with beggars? The journalist here highlights that banning “beggars’ gangs” is probably not the right way to go. We couldn’t agree more!
Besides, how do you define a “gang”? These do not exist and are a construct from the press and politics.

Seems that racism and prejudice are an integral part of Football. This time this is an Australian goalkeeper who was fined for having insulted another player, calling him a “f*cking Gypsy” …
What a surprise.

A discussion about the upcoming incarnation of a cartoon character called “Gypsy” in a TV series. The very name raises a few questions and concerns, as it is de-facto a racial slur. What would people say if a character was named after the N-word? So why don’t they think about “Gypsy”?

Again this theory that Rroma are the reason why Eastern Europe turned against migrants. Bad story, but presented better than the one in Bloomberg last week and written by Andrzej Mirga, a Polish Rom.

Yet another case of portraying Rroma via stereotypes only. This time, in the superhero league, with a woman who has the power “to hide and trick” and who calls herself Gypsy…
Bad.
