Again another article on the purported migration of Rroma to California. To put things in perspective: The police said that less than 500 Romanian Rroma applied for Ayslum. California is not that small …

The brand, ColorPop, named its darker shades of make-up with offensive names. They also named a lipstick “Gypsy” but renamed it to Calypso after protests.
However, the name stuck in the URL of the product name. See at the bottom of the article.

An article about the Rroma football club against whom no one wants to play, just because they are Rroma.
Racism is rampant in the Czech Republic.

The main Rroma organisations from Switzerland, together with the Gesellschaft für bedrohte Völker lodged a criminal complaint for racism against the Green Liberal politician Nathan Güntensperger from Bern. This politician made derogatory and generalising comments against all Rroma in a letter to a newspaper.
The bad thing is that the 20 Minutes paper added a poll to the article: The choices were: Do you agree with the criminal complaint? No, one is allowed to say what one thinks! And a last one which was worse. Interestingly, the poll has been changed, but not for the better. That is about conflicts with travellers …

A new musical opened up in Hungary. It is called Somnakaj – gold in Rromanes, and is a “Gypsy” musical. These types of things are not always positive, as they often tend to use the standard stereotypes that people have, thus reinforcing them …

Seems that several Newspapers are catching on the migration of Rroma in California. From the articles, one could believe it is a real trend.
Well, they have probably more Rroma immigrants they don’t recognise as such (they don’t fit the stereotypes) than the ones which prompted these articles. If they only knew that there have been Rroma steelworkers and then automobile factory workers in the US since ages, among many other Rroma!

This is fast becoming a farce… The Orban government is now betting on Rroma integration to resolve demographic problems.

What can be “benevolent” about segregation? This is simply segregation, and is practised enthusiastically in Hungary in villages, in schools, and wherever possible.
End these practices.

Following the recognition of Jenische and Sinti by Alain Berset, Swiss Interior Minister, Rroma rightly feel excluded. Event though they number far more than Jenische and Sinti in Switzerland…
But then, in that country, Rroma is used as an almost synonym for foreigner.
