PSA
dumbthingswhitepplsay: onlytowardschaos: I realize some people may not know this, but using the word gypped (sometimes spelled “gipped”) to refer to being cheated is a racial slur. It recalls centuries of prejudice and abuse against Gypsies, which is what the word comes from. It’s on the level of “Indian giver” (also offensive, in case you didn’t know). Romani and other Gypsy peoples have been...

danceswithfaeriesunderthemoon: Don’t you just love turning on your tv to watch something that looks interesting, but then you find out that the story line of it is based around detectives and police trying to capture a “Thieving, Murdering, Dirty Gypsy girl”? Fuck Antiziganism and fuck the media.

modernperplexity: I’m serously falling in love with the gypsy style..I watched sherlock holmes yesterday and I have to admit, I loved Naomi Rapace’s (Madame Simza) wardrobe :] I love how people write they are falling in love with Gypsy Style and are so proud of themseves for celebrating damaging cultural stereotypes that lead to our continued persecution. THAT’S AMAZING, GOOD FOR YOU,...

How to be a fan of problematic things →
oceanicheart: TRIGGER WARNING for discussion of racism, sexism, rape, and heterosexism “As fans, sometimes we need to remember that the things we like don’t define our worth as people. So there’s no need to defend them from every single criticism or pretend they are perfect. Really loving something means seeing it as it really is, not as you wish it were. You can still be a good fan while...

also i see all these people posting about how..
in the book, esmeralda was the white child of a french prostitute STOLEN BY THE GYPSIES so i should just get over it, cause i am missing the point of the story blah blah blah. again. ya’ll. i read. i’ve read lots of books as contrary to being gypsy as that may seem to be, and uh, bringing up the baby stealing trope is reaaallly not selling your argument. unrelated side note: man,...

gypsyladykat: Yeah. You’re real cool bitch. Get over yourself. It’s a goddamn Disney character costume. So I went as a gypsy and I’m a white girl. SO FUCKING WHAT?!?! If I fucking felt like it, I could go as Tiana. Would you give me shit then?? Probably. So do everyone a favor and kindly FUCK OFF! Okay?  I really don’t need to add anything to this. It’s too good on it’s own.

this is even better really cause wow, let’s take marginalized women of colour, and fetishsize them, and then STAB KNIVES THROUGH THEIR FACE because women of colour don’t proportionately experience more violence than white women, and THEN use old school style tatooing as an excuse to promote it! I LOVE IT IT IS THE BEST IDEA I HAVE EVER HEARD NOW COME OVER HERE, GADJE, I HAVE SOME...

danceswithfaeriesunderthemoon: I think it’s so fucked up and creepy when people get tattoo’s of ‘Native American skulls’ and ‘Gypsy heads’. What the fuck. That’s like me getting a tattoo of a White persons head on myself. like really why. not to mention the sugar skull gypsy heads. makes no sense. it’s like “how many ways can i be a shithead with one tattoo?”

katslucky1231 asked: I'm very sorry if I offended by you saying idiot gypsies. I'd just like to say I did NOT mean the race of people. I was referring to the gypsy characters in a fictional TV show. I'll edit it, but please remember to think of things in context the next time you do get offended.

shesakiwi13: One thing I’ve never really understood about Angel’s curse, why exactly is this gypsy tribe’s pain eternal? It was 100 years ago! I don’t think I know any of my family members that would have been alive 100 years ago. Sorry if this might be painful, but get over it already! she’s dead, as are the people that lived with her. I understand wanting Angel to suffer for all the evil he...

golden-zephyr: helloimlulu: It makes me sad when I think about the fact that millions of Rromani youth do not know our language(s) and culture because of gadje antiziganism and prejudice making it “shameful” to be Rroma. When someone hides the fact that theyre Rromani. Its the fault of the gadje. Some people might get mad at me for saying this…I am not sorry. Gadje….YOU have shamed us for...
