EXPLAIN? ”AMERICAN GYPSIES” OR… JUST BLATANT, FAKE RACISM! OH YEAH! AMERICA!
AT LEAST THE BRITISH SHOW, WHILE EXPLOITING STEREOTYPES, IS SOMEWHAT GROUNDED IN PRESENT IRISH TRAVELLER CULTURE
GODDAMNED AMERICANS
THERE ARE NO WALKING PEOPLE OR TRAVELLERS IN AMERICA, NO TRAVELLERS HAVE ORIGINALLY LIVED IN AMERICA WHICH MEANS THERE IS NO CULTURE TO UPHOLD. WTF WHYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
What?
There are over two millions Irish Travellers and Roma in the United States.
This upsets me, Weetz, if you are being serious. I have followed you for a while—and now this confuses me.
There have been Roma/Irish Travellers/Sinte/Kaale in the US as long as there has been a US. They were enslaved and indentured. They were sent out of England as a way to “get rid” of them.
Sometimes, they were turned away and not allowed to disembark at NY or other docks—even though this meant certain death.
Some families fled the war here—and the terrible conditions that remain for them in Europe.
There are many kinds of us here—old immigrant families, new immigrant families. People who speak American Kalderash, or the new Cant, or those who don’t speak it at all. There are Roma who don’t identify and Roma who do…
The show gets only ONE thing right…
There are “gypsies” in America and they’ve been here a fucking awful long time.
Um, and the part where Roma who did manage to get here often intermarried with eastern woodlands ndns, is that something we all hallucinated?

Yet another white Swedish antiracist act - the Minister of Culture cuts up an African woman à la Sarah Baartman at the Museum of Modern Art here.
Recommended reading for context: “The Foundations of Whiteness,” which breaks down how Sweden’s (and other European countries’) ostensible Third World solidarity and antiracism actually goes hand in hand with white superiority and white homogeneity[…]
I hate all of their faces.
WHAT THE HOLY FUUUUCK?!!!
white people really are the sickest people on this planet. mind you, France still had Baartman’s genitals and brain on display until 1974, and didn’t return her remains to South Africa for a proper burial until 2002!
wow. barbarism at its finest. and white people wonder why we don’t trust them?? crazy ass sick shit like this!!
Fuck all of this. Fuck everything about this.
But Europeans ain’t racist though??? Racism don’t exist in these countries? Fuck this bitch and every single person in that picture.
And to the people who are like, “But the artist is black too”
You think his ass isn’t getting paid and petted by holding up white supremacy? For making them feel good and happy about their hand in atrocities?
He’s their fucking crayon color magical negro. Look at them faces.
