Son of Rodney posted:Nah I totally am serious, when I realize I'm wrong about something I try and change it. But that’s no fun. I don’t come to this website for genuine personal reflection and the realization that as flawed human beings we must strive to become better. I need you to double down, triple down, start posting unsourced bizarre articles, try to doxx the naysayers, and then beautifully melt down when some kind of bizarre sordid past emerges. (It turns out you’re banned from traveling to Greece and Italy solely due to anti-Roma racism, and you named your pet dog Gyppo the oval office).

Re: the American notion of gypsy has in my experience been largely "positive" connotations and implies something mystical or exotically beautiful but also distinctly feminine. I think a lot of American women adopting a sort of boho style would take it as a sincere compliment if you called them a gypsy, and I've had (white, of course) friends who have described themselves as such. Most Americans at least are more likely to think "tarot fortune teller in a caravan" than "thieving beggar" when they hear the word. I never even made the association between "gypped" and gypsy until well into my adult life.

My mom grew up in England in the 50s and told me how the gypsy girls would go around to all the houses selling flowers, and you had to buy the flowers from them because if you didn't their brothers and uncles would come by in the night later that week and rob you. Also they lived in a landfill. Is there a like a European version of "heritage not hate" because it seems like hating on gypsies is definitely part of their heritage

Blue Footed Booby posted:It drives me nuts because you see hurr durr bigotry about Roma from people who wouldn't in a million years fall for the same rhetoric used to color all black folks or poor immigrants as criminals, but there's some weird disconnect with this particular group. Poverty Goat has been unironically posting in the Heroin thread for like 10 years so he is not a reliable narrator

I come here expecting a full-on racist meltdown and instead I get a big dose of someone owning up their former shittiness and listening to their better angels instead. Luckily there is sexy Tetris to make me remember I'm on the internet

I will admit that seeing the replies has made me actually think about the topic again instead of defaulting to the knee-jerk (racist) reaction that comes naturally when talking about sinti and roma, and I'm doing some reading about them right now. It made me realize how deep-seated my own anti-roman prejudice actually is, as I don't see myself as a racist person at all and try hard in daily life to act against racism. I will say that americans maybe don't have a realistic view of the situation, and tend to oversimplify it, as the issues with the roman people are quite real and significant, but that doesn't excuse racism against them. hitler_face_slowly_melting_off_to_reveal_normal_person.gif
