kayluhhface asked: If it's pulled from Mexican tradition I guess I just don't understand how it can be found offensive to you when you're not even Mexican? Day of the dead gypsies are simply girls who paint their faces to look like sugar skulls. I don't understand how that has anything to do with you. But hey, thanks for reposting my picture. Really appreciate the free promotion. I'd rather...

kayluhhface asked: Because THAT answers my question? That's MY illustration that I modeled after traditional day of the dead gypsies and sugar skulls. That's the Mexican culture. How is it offensive to you? I ask because I really don't know and I'm curious.

thegapofbrohan: Hey, all you gadje in the “gypsy” tag. Yes, you. The ones dressing up as stereotypes. You. Let me just say this one more time: I don’t care if it’s for the sake of “art” or “fashion”. I don’t care what you saw on TLC. I don’t care if it was a Halloween costume. I don’t care what your intentions were. Just. take. your. antiziganism. and. leave. I am not honored that you chose...

thekindthorn asked: Can you stop using the term "butthurt"? It implies things about anal sex, is kind of sex negative, etc. Thanks you.

A House
golden-zephyr: You know, whenever I see these people on tumblr just :wishing to run away and be a gypsy and live in a caravan with hardly any possessions: I think to myself, that when I was a kid, I used to want to know that I had a home, just a house even, that was ours. A place that we could lock the door and people couldn’t make us leave, just cos they wanted to, just because we’re Rroma.  ...

What a gypsy is and what a gypsy is not....
golden-zephyr: badpornography: A gypsy is a nomad, a wandering traveler with no permanent home. An individual who moves from place to place rather frequently, often as a part of a caravan. A gypsy is someone who makes their living by way of proficiency in some form of fine arts, whether it be music, dance, art, or rudimentary crafts. A gypsy is someone who has embraced a certain lifestyle,...

nikiya asked: i have a question -- what is the correct term for Walking People that outsiders should use? i've heard roma/romani and variants of these spellings... if i were writing something and i wanted to refer to a character with a roma lineage, how would i not fail miserably at representing it/naming the background? (i'm going to check the links out you've put together, too.) thank you in...

toriathegadjeslayer: fyeahcap: vampirefruitfly: white-souled-gypsy: I’m not exactly the biggest saint around, so like a gypsy, I know I have an unconscious malice in me that makes me act in certain ways and makes me look at life rather darkly. I’m not very neat, I like to wander around a lot, I tend to lie, and be very sexual. Now, the white souled part comes from this need I have to care...

jejunestarr asked: Today in US History, we were talking about the Holocaust, and the people who were the "undesirables". My history book literally addressed the Romani as "gypsies", and when I asked my teacher why the Romani were considered undesirables, he had no idea what Romani was. I had to specify that I meant "gypsies" in order for him to understand my question. I just thought...

helloimlulu reblogged your photo: first of all, what in the actual fuck is a white… Murti’s dont really “tokenize” Hinduism or Buddhism. Theyre damn near an essential part I mostly meant the electric blue plastic part. It looks like something a hipster would buy and put on their dashboard,  to be like “WHOOO Buddhism!” but good to know. I’ll take it out.

thegapofbrohan asked: Maybe another FAQ could be: Q: It's not racist because it's for the sake of art/fashion! A: no, it's still racist. Or something like that. I get that argument a lot. Someone once told me I should be honored that gashed were dressing up like Rroma...
