Forever wondering how many of the people saying “we should punch Nazis” actually talk about modern antisemitism or antiromanyism, ever. Cause it sort of feels like you only care about Jews and Roma when we’re dead
Romani people are being beaten up and killed in Eastern Europe right fucking NOW, but the only ones being outraged about this and talk about it, are Romani and Jews. Deafening silence from the rest of those anti Nazis out there. Makes me spit feathers…and exhausted 😡
Ok so I didn’t know about this issue until literally right now, so here’s some articles from the ERRC.
TW for: Anti-Romani racism, Fascism, Holocaust praise/parallels, Genocide, police brutality, murder and other forms of violence.
And this specifically Italian one about Salvini
Oh and this one about the murder of a Greek Romani child
And Fascist massacres of Romani people in Ukraine.
These are all within the last month.
Mainstream international media is generally apathetic towards these issues, but please make an effort to keep yourself informed. People are dying.
Reblogging again with the info because I totally didn’t know until I saw this post too!
Aren’t Romani children being segregated in schools?? Segregation is still alive today and no one is saying anything about it

Romani here!
There’s a LOT of dispicable things happening against the Roma now. Many Roma camps recently attacked in the Ukraine. Many of the murderers are getting off SCOTT FREE despite having killed Roma in Ukraine.
A list of other issues still going on, a lot of this is going on in Eastern Europe:
- Forced Sterilization
- Eviction
- Harassment (by law enforcement as well as civilians)
- Fingerprinting (this is happening in Italy right now – all Romani people are being fingerprinted, simply because our race is considered ‘criminal’)
- Concentration camps
- Starvation
- Exclusion from public schools and welfare programs
- School harassement from administration and teachers
- Bombings (it is not uncommon in places like the Czech Republic for people to throw molotov cocktails into the windows of Romani homes)
- In many areas it’s very much still illegal to employ Romani, which means they’re forced to be scam artists and thieves because how else are they going to put food on the table?
It’s also estimated that up to 50% of Romani living population in Europe were killed during the Holocaust, but ya know, hardly any memorials ever mention them and the big one in the USA I don’t think has any mention of them
