Switzerland: A FIRST!!!

Published by:

There seems to be change in the air. For the first time, politicians were condemned for racism against Roma. In this case, the leaders of the youth fraction of the SVP, the rightist populist party in Switzerland were condemned for a cartoon against Roma travellers.
A first, and hopefully, this will slow down these kind of actions.

Roma in Russia

Published by:

A long article from RT on Roma in Russia. While some of the facts are correct (Xaladytka, Servi, and then Kalderaša), they miss quite a few things (Kirimlides who are just a footnote on religion, Lovara, etc. who also came at the beginning of the 20th century – not 19th as they state).
But there are also lots of folklore such a caste system and “values”.
Full stereotypes indeed.
