Children’s Movie

Published by:

The television children movie called “Nellie’s Adventures” in the German TV is getting a lot of critique for its representation of Sinti and Roma, which, to say the least are presented in a stereotypical fashion: They are petty criminals, con men, or beggars.
The Central Council of Sinti and Roma calls it racist and they are right.

Disneyland Roma

Published by:

The trial of the Romanian Roma (and a few others) who picked the pockets of tourists in the Disneyland near Paris (and apparently made 1 Mio EUR) is in full swing. According to the journalist, it is worthy of a Kusturica movie.
The article is good with one exception – the use of “clan” in this context. One family is definitively not a clan – and this term is abused in the European Press in the context of Roma.
