This kind of behaviour is still considered normal. Racism against Romani people is viewed as acceptable. In America racism against Romani people is growing stronger by the day.

These racially discriminating signs were found in LA at a @Chevron gas station. These signs stereotype and profile the Romani community, and use a slur while doing it.
Romani racism goes unseen in America but it’s time to wake up. This is happening NOW in the USA.

Marcel was also Jewish. Why tf do y’all always leave this information out, it’s extremely important to the story. He literally was apart of the Jewish French resistance which is how he helped rescue Jewish kids.
During World War I, a French mime named Marcel Marceau used his acting background to rescue Jewish children and get them to safety. He would smuggle them across the Swiss border, miming to keep them happy while instructing them to stay quiet. He saved at least 70 kids.
Marceau would disguise himself as a Boy Scout leader and lead groups of children on long walks through the countryside to reach the Swiss border. During the journey, he would use his mime skills to keep the children entertained and quiet, so as not to attract attention from German soldiers or collaborators.
Marceau's efforts are estimated to have saved the lives of at least 70 Jewish children. After the war, he continued to perform as a mime artist and became one of the most famous performers in the world. He passed away in 2007 at the age of 84.

Learning the details of Christian antisemitism is always heartbreaking, even when it isn't shocking.
In Switzerland, 1328, Jews were tortured into confessing to spreading the plague through poisoning wells--even though no such thing happened..The result was a mass murder.
"In 1215, the 4th Lateran Council accepted the doctrine of transubstantiation as official Church dogma..28 years after the Council declaration, the 1st accusation of "host desecration" occurred..The city's entire Jewish population was burned alive for allegedly torturing a wafer"

"Ostow observes that between 1348 and 1350, thousands of Jews were massacred and hundreds of Jewish communities destroyed based on the suspicion that the Jews were responsible for the Black Death".
Thousands of Jews killed, Jewish children forcibly converted.
"all Jews from the age of seven, cannot excuse themselves from this crime, since all of them in their totality were cognizant & are guilty of the above actions"... Jewish children under the age of seven were baptized & raised as Christians after their families had been executed"

When we discuss Gypsy being a slur, this is what we mean, and why we say it.
People still talk about us like we’re animals, sub human.

Romani people are not your costume.
You do not have a Gypsy Soul.
We aren’t an aesthetic.
We are real people, enduring real prejudice & discrimination.
You can take off the costume when it’s inconvenient. We cant.
Please stop calling yourself a Gypsy if you aren’t.
