If you’re gonna use ANTHROPOLOGY, ONE OF THE MOST RACIST SCIENCES EVAAAAAR, to JUSTIFY your RACISM?
LMFAO
Don’t bother with the asks
Just continue your lives believing I’m a reverse racist/Black supremacist and hate all white people.
I really give no fucks.
anyone who uses anthropology for anything but a study in institutionalized racism is a...

caprile:
So the other day we went to the store and bought a sick meal with wine and dessert and a main and a side, all for the delicious price of 10 pounds, and came home and cooked it and watched My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding (I’m freakishly fascinated with obscenities). As I’m watching I realize I actually have no idea what the hell gypsies are. I mean you come Italy-side and...

“golden-zephyr: Thanks to an amazing writer, here is the problem with America and the word “gypsy”: The press is not interested in human rights in Europe unless some country blows up another. Now they will care a little bit about human rights involving something that will sell papers, but a human rights violation against a minority that the average...

The problem in a nutshell

Thanks to an amazing writer, here is the problem with America and the word “gypsy”:
The press is not interested in human rights in Europe unless some country blows up another. Now they will care a little bit about human rights involving something that will sell papers, but a human rights violation against a minority that the average US citizen doesn’t think really exists or...
another note on the US Holocaust Memorial Museum:

lookatthisfuckinggadje:
in their ~gift shop, they also sell “gypsy rose” necklaces, bracelets, shit like that. oh that’s okay, US Holocaust Museum, feel free to trivialize the severe, ongoing, systematic oppression of Walking People because you want to sell a few necklaces.
A HOLOCAUST MUSEUM SELLS THIS SHIT.
WHAT. WHAT. WHAT. WHAT.
I really, really wish I was...

imrealshit asked: hi, i've been following you blog for a little while now and have found it very informative/interesting. last weekend, i was at the holocaust museum in washington DC, and i noticed that whenever the roma people were mention, right next to it in parenthesis was written gypsies. i tried to take a photo, but a guard forced me to delete it. i was just curious about your thoughts on the word gypsy...
thatdeafchick asked: okay, thank you. im sorry for offending i wasnt trying to. and i wasnt trying to just justify either or ask to be educated only for your opinion. but thank you for the information.
thatdeafchick asked: So I know it would be racist in the use, but if the racism behind the word evolved from the Holocaust and the book predated the Holocaust, would it still hold true to the use of that word? Or could the use of the word in that circumstance more along the lines of the use of the “N” word in Huck Finn, how it is simply accurately portrays the racism that existed in that time, by using the...
thatdeafchick asked: is the "G" word racist because of the Holocaust and the effects of it there or was it always racist? in the way that some word dont start out racist and are often used within the community but then become appropriated by the oppressing culture and used as a derogatory term towards the specific group and thus become offensive. i ask because i really love the book, Hunchback of Notre Dame,...
thatdeafchick asked: Also what are your opinions on the way Romani people are portrayed in the novel? Is it offensive? (sorry for my ask being in 3 seperate ones, it didnt all fit in one. and if i was in any way offensive please let me know)
barrelofthepen asked: Similar to how if I wanted to actually wear something that was Native American, I would go purchase it from real Natives, do you think people who like some of the art or clothing that has come from Rroma could purchase it directly from them? Are there things like that available? I realize it's not a monolithic group and most of what we associate with Rroma are probably stereotypes but if a...

digatisdi asked: I really don't understand what's so difficult for this gadže to grasp that you're going to keep the picture up. It's not like we put her name, address, and phone number on here to slander her for all eternity. There's virtually no way I can see this impacting her in a tangible way. The site is called, "Look at this Fucking Gadje" for a reason: we look at these...
leney-no asked: I understand that people are upset about my gypsy tag. It was a mistake and I have apologized for it and I do it again. I am sorry, it was stupid of me. I know that gypsy is not a term to use. But dressing up as another race is not racist. People dress up as people they like, or think are really cool. AND people dress up to mock, that is not a question. I am sorry, as a really tan white person,...
golden-zephyr asked: shit, our secret base is out in the open: wherethegypsieshide
viceprincipalpanch asked: dear leney-no: gadje-to-gadje, a[.]k.a. non-travelling person to non-travelling person, you're being really, really ridiculous. yes, i get that you didn't INTEND to be racist, but you're making an ass out of yourself by continuing to explain how you're NOT. as a white person, you don't get to decide how or how you are not racist. you can only apologize, and move on with...

cornerof5thandvermouth asked: whenever you say come get your people i feel like i'm back in art school picking up my roommate who passed out drunk at a party in the kiddie pool full of paint again and it's actually vaguely unsettling in a hilariously terrible kind of way so uh just thought you'd be amused

straighttohelvetica asked: Did that woman just ask if dressing up as another race was racist? Like at no point in time when she was formulating that thought did she realize how inappropriate that is? People of color and marginalized groups are not fantasy characters you can dress up as for the weekend, and to think otherwise shows just how little respect you have for those people.
leney-no asked: Well, wrong use of words. I've just heard it too much where I am from, because that is happening - and I mixed the terms of what I was gonna say because my english vocab is dying out. I haven't talked english in 8 months. I do not want you to know me, I just say that if you did know me, you would never call me a racist and you would never say fuck you. If you want me to stop annoying...
wayward-may-queen asked: I would come get my people, but even I don't want racist hipster douches. :(
brienne--of--tarth asked: lord have mercy did she just pull out the good ol' YOU'RE A REVERSE RACIST!!! omg someone hold me
leney-no asked: Reverse Racism.. perfect example of who is intolerant here. You don't know me. I can only imagine how different you would act if you knew. You are really judgmental calling ME a racist after this little thing. You should rather be busy "fighting" REAL racists.
leney-no asked: So, all people who dress up as another race are racists? You don't even know me and you call me a racist only because I added "gypsy" to my photo, which I did only because Esmeralda was considered a so called gypsy? I don't want my photo on your blog, why can't you just tolerate that? I understand that I have offended you without intending to do so. Please forgive me. You...
faerieeglow asked: Fuck. Why do people think "oh, it's a theme party! Racism is okay!"? I'll never understand that!
leney-no asked: are you ignoring my message? I say it again: Remove my photo, please. It was a freakin disney themed party. How mature you are, writing "fuck you" under a photo of me. wow..
leney-no asked: I have removed the gypsy tag on my photo. It was a stupid of me to tag it as gypsy only because the disney figure Esmeralda is associated with a "gypsy". My purpose is not to insult people by dressing up. I had a disney themed party for crying out loud.. Please remove my photo from your blog.
snollygosting asked: hi, i'm not rroma myself but i have a shitton of irish-rroma family (who get called gypsies pretty much all the time and get kicked off their homes, though i'm not entirely clear how similar the racial roots are) and programmes like big fat gypsy wedding make me want to die and blogs like this blog make me want to high five the world frankly <3

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...
