They and their extended clan were Romanichal, their ancestors had made their way from the Ottoman Balkans during the early modern period, then made the hop to America in the first half of the 19th century, most of them ended up spread out around the South including my lineage

Thank you. I’m gay and of partial Romanichal descent and have a big problem especially with people trying to weaponize the Romani Holocaust for political purposes.

Isabis grew up between a Romanichal family and a bayou commune, raised on art, music, and freedom. Now at Columtreal, she drifts through chaos and excess, chasing highs, loyalty intact, her light masking something darker.

I mean we have a few organizations committed to it etc etc and more international recognition etc.
I'll need to check a reference source on it to be more specific for you.
We Are the Romani People by Ian F Hancock (he's Romanichal and our biggest scholar on ourselves).
It's good and accurate.

Like, my first cousins are basically my siblings. But, apparently, the Romanichal folks don't see the problem. Meanwhile, I'm looking at the screen horrified

It's so complex. I've Romanichal roots. Grew up being to taught to deny that identity. Even just labelling as white doesn't touch on the complexities of so many of us. I'd have been sent to the camps for my politics, my racial identity, my sexuality and disabilities. So yeah, Liddle was enemy.

Hey, remind me again of your so-called centrist and left wing parties’ positions on immigration, trans people, and GRT (Gypsy Roma and Traveller) peoples? Signed, a Romanichal

This line of thinking, it's always the "good" examples are conveniently the ancestor who gained somebody's family's passage to America b/c of their Western values & a work ethic. It's always fun responding that my ancestors, including Romanichal, were transported here as criminals in the 1600s.
if you’re an immigrant and unemployed, you’re a freeloader, but if you’re gainfully employed, you’re stealing someone’s job. They just don’t want these people to exist except as targets for their hatred one way or the other bsky.app/profile/heba...
My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now."
This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

I'm writing a story w/ Romani identity as a core point, but my background -- well, one, is extremely patchy (lolsob ain't that the common way) and two, from what I do know, is Romanichal/Kale. Are there any Vlax/Kalderash-

Can we please dispose of the transparently disingenuous excuses that dictionaries confer permission to use bigoted words, and that dictionaries erase bigotry when neutral words are used as slurs?

30. Other times I cried while writing the X-Men: describing my first panel; creating my first new mutant (who has not shown up again, but a girl can dream); writing Meggan's speech about being judged for being Romanichal in England.

There are British Romani (Romanichal) who have been in the country for at least 500 years.

Richard Adams really wrote a story about a persecuted ethnic group living in the english countryside who survive by living on the run and whose names and legends are a weird mix of arabic and old english, expecting it not to psychically damage every romanichal alive

I'm sorry but you do not get to say "it's just a catch all term for free spirits" when the person you're talking about also appropriated the name of one of the biggest romanichal families as a stage persona. Like this is not a Jimi Hendrix situation

It would be lovely if even ONE person ever responded to my Roma related posts. I don’t expect anything from Americans (although Romanichal are a presence in the US) , but I’m super disappointed by the lack of comment or support by Finns & Europeans, w/ the exception of very few (yes, I notice you!)
