Balkan and Roma

Published by:

A survey on the situation of Roma by the United Nations Development Program and the World Bank, supported by the European Commission in the Western Balkan, while showing some progress highlighted high unemployment (up to 80%) and continuing discrimination.
As usual, these studies need to be taken with a grain of salt as they never include integrated Roma – tilting the results.

Gypsy?

Published by:

Zigeunerschnitzel

Published by:

The young socialists in Szitwerland want to forbid the term “Zigeunerschnitzel” – a form of grilled meat. The controversy went further and led to discussions about a festival in Switzerland organised by the “Fahrendes Zigeuner Kulturzentrum” – a Jenische Organisation that has been organising events for the last 30 years. The action is now being extended to the use of “Zigeuner” a term which is definitively derogatory.
Not all politicians, even Green ones agree…

Domari in Irak

Published by:

One speaks too little about them, but the Domari – the Middle Eastern cousins of Roma suffered tremendously from IS. In one of their villages the school was reconstructed recently in Iraq.
Good but the press should use the proper name instead of calling them “Gypsies” in a more politically correct fashion.
