This is one of the most ignorant and racist "accounts" of Rom I have ever read, basing what you know on sensationalized television shows and stories that have been written with prejudice against us.

It's not racist because I don't hate gypsies, I love gypsies. But I'm sure this account is ignorant, as it was based on the ridiculous TV show. It's an article about the TV show. I certainly don't claim to be any kind of expert on the Romany, and apologize if this article pissed you off.

As someone with Romani heritage, and who is highly educated, this article is truly perpetuating ignorance and hatred towards an entire ethic group you obviously know nothing about other than stereotypes and distorted views based on “entertainment” television. If waving a racist flag is your intention, it is seen from a VERY far distance. Please make a more conscious effort to educate yourself before making such a public display of… well, trash.

It was an article about a trashy TV show. I reported it factually. Take your issues to the producers of that gypsy franchise. I didn’t malign anyone.

The women have to be repressing a ton of anger.

They're not repressing it so much as storing it up and then channelling it viciously into pulling each other's hair out at the roots.

"Wild eyed kabuki war masks." I want to see what a Cintra reality show would look like. It would be the only one I'd watch...and it would be better than nitrous oxide and THC infused gummy bears.
