Calling, or referring to Romani, as “gypsy“ is equivalent in offense as the N-word.

Romani have an incredibly strict system in every single clan. We do not have our own language to remain “mysterious/exotic” we have our own language because we are our own nation. In the same way, we have our own government system and justice system.Another thing to correct is your misinformation about our work ethic. We were worked like dogs.The only people who have “ evolved into con artists/thieves,” are people who are not Romani and call themselves gypsies. They have no genetic or blood relation to us Roma. Yes, we were targeted in the holocaust. No, we were nowhere close to the becoming extinct. We have large families.“what a thrill.....” This entire post is fetishizing our children. You have continued to exacerbate false information, and that is hurtful to our community.

Your beautiful son is not a “gypsy.” He is Romani- our nation has a completely different language; please also realize we would never give our children away, we have been coerced for years to have them taken and ripped away from our clans. We would never ever give away our children. I hope you include this as you speak with your son. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions.-Anjela
