Given the fact that  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma belong to many different groups that have their respective  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcharacteristics, it seems appropriate to speak of several Rroma identities: \u201c<em style=\"\">Every  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tweek without fail someone asks me \u201cis the word Gypsy offensive?\u201d There really  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tis no simple answer. \u00ad How can there be when there are 12 million Romanies in  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEurope alone \u2013 all with their own opinions, experiences and identities. It is  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthis fact which complicates almost every debate amongst and about the Romani  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpeople. [\u2026] in reality we are a collection of many different groups with  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvarying cultures, languages, histories, and identities. What we have in common,  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thowever, is that together we are the Romani people.\u201d <\/em>A danger in the use of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tseemingly politically correct terminologies such as \u201ctravellers\u201d is that they  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmediate misconceptions. Most Rroma are not travellers. In the UK, the Rroma are  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\toften confused with Irish Travellers, which have a completely different history.  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBorev comes to the conclusion that the devaluation respectively appreciation of  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tan exonym depends on the person who uses the name.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Borev, Filip (2014) What is in a word?  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#8216;Gypsy&#8217;: pride or prejudice.
