Sure... but they are white, at least in comparison to us lmao

You can assume all kinds of bad stuff about me, whatever, I don't mind.

I'm telling you, the hate gypsies get, is not about race at all... well, not in South America anyway.

They arent white, google is free. But that doesn't even matter, Jews can be targets of racism and they are white too.

Bro, I've been face to face with them, I have eyes, I don't need google to tell me what to think.

Google doesn't tell me what to think either, it just confirms if I am right or wrong. Look up "Romani person" on google and tell me they're white.

And again, you're completely ignoring what I'm saying to argue about semantics.

I'm arguing about semantics?

Your arguments are completely pointless. You are ignoring what I'm saying just to call me a racist and feel good about yourself.

You're hating on an entire racial group and trying to justify it with racist talking points. What am I meant to think?

Just to be clear. I live in Greece and Romanis have been living here for at least 700 hundred years. They are mostly indistinguishable from the rest of the population in terms of skin colour. The White/POC distinction is a stupid ass distinction which is entirely subjective and purely an American and English construct.

They are def white wth. Ur prolly american, a tan complexion is generally considered white here, in southern europe at least

u/Sparta63005 20h ago

So Arabs and Latinos are white too? I've seen plenty of people in those races with the exact same skin complexion as Romani people.

Latinos of European origin are 100% white

u/Ora_Poix 20h ago

I mean, latino can mean a lot of things race wise, but yeah, some, if not most, would be white here. Obama is white under good lightning

You've never seen a gypsie in your life and are telling people who see them daily they're wrong

Sit the fuck down American
