A fairly activist view of Rroma – with quite a few historical inaccuracies (slavery and serfdom for Rroma was only in Romanian lands, etc.).
What is bad in such representations is that it stereotypes Rroma just as victims and states “Colloquially referred to as “gypsies” for their supposed Egyptian heritage, the Roma are a heterogeneous ethnic group without a single common language, religion, or cultural tradition”. This is totally inaccurate – as there is a single common language and traditions, and only religion is different, taking the religion of the region in which they settled.
