MikkiToday, April 8th, is International Romani Day. Romaphobia is a form of racism and ethnic discrimination that still gets swept under the rug and ignored on a massive scale.
Did you know, for example, most Romani people consider 'gypsy' a slur? Or that Romani people were among the first peoples to be targeted by the Nazis, as early as during their rise to power in 1933? And that between 250.000 and 500.000 Romani people were killed during the Holocaust? And that, to this day, Romani people are still discriminated against (antiziganism), and sometimes even suffer from segregation?
If none of this was known to you, take this as a chance to educate yourself and join the fight for equality and recognition.
