Roma, gypsies, travelers

I always thought of this group as European. But Wikipedia says the country with the most gypsies is the US. Who knew?

The exhibits at Auschwitz about the liquidation of the Roma family camp are terrifying and included commentary from Jews who were horrified by what happened.

It doesn’t say the US has the most Roma, OP, it’s got 1M with Romani ancestry. Europe still has the largest population, and Romania is overrun with them. They’re marginalized and discriminated against and basically uneducated, so it can be no surprise they are known as thieves and scammers.

Irish Tinkers 'travellers' have no genetic connection with Roma or Gypsies.

They are just fucking chancers who don't pay tax, claim benefits, steal and cheat old people.

Do the Roma get as upset about being called Gypsies as Twitter seems to think they do/should?

There’s a lot at the Safeway by me.

R3, I've known many Roma, and I don't think most of them even know that they're being called gypsies in a derogatory manner.

The child marriage trend within these groups was always disturbing to me.

Kate Middleton is a gypsah. She’s not so bad.
