There is nothing about being a free spirited traveller if you’re called such a word. What is up with white people romanticizing everything to make it seem all nice and rainbows for them? They were not nomadic by choice. They moved around because they had to… they were persecuted everywhere they went, and still are, to this day. They were persecuted alongside the Jews in the Holocaust – the Roma & Sinti. They were forced to have this sort of nomadic lifestyle because no country wanted them there. Let’s not forget these lovely things Rromani people did and still go through because of who they are: Forced sterilization (yes, it is still happening) Eviction Harassment (by law enforcement as well as civilians) Fingerprinting (this is happening in Italy right now – all Romani people are being fingerprinted, simply because our race is considered criminal) Concentration camps Starvation Exclusion from public schools and welfare programs Bombings (it is not uncommon in places like the Czech Republic for people to throw molotov cocktails into the windows of Romani homes)
