Have Any Of You Ever Met a Gypsy?
    #19129716 - 11/13/13 01:43 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I never ever thought that real "pure" gypsies existed anymore, until I saw this show pop up on my Netflix: http://movies.netflix.com/WiPlayer?movieid=70291811&trkid=3325854

I have never ever met a gypsy in my life, so out of curiosity I watched it. But after watching it, I am now really.... really.... confused. They look and dress and act as loud and obnoxiously Jersey Shore kids, with Southern hillbilly accents and an 8th grade education, along with strict religious morals comparable to Catholics. I am so..... very.... very.... confused after watching all this.

Edit: Another thing I don't understand, is that I'm reading that gypsies are from the Pakistan/India kind of area. Yet these people claim they are from Ireland? Yet they have the jet black hair of a Middle Eastern and look more like Italians. I guess technically they're a mix of everything having travelled all over the world, but why do they say they are from Ireland?

Have any of you met a real gypsy, and what were they like?

In Berlin, in Alexanderplatz,
they walk around with a baby
asking you if you speak english
then if you do
they assume you have money
and ask you for it.
They are quite annoying.

Modern day gypsies in the U.S. are usually trustafarians.  One can find them in the parking lots of jam band concerts.

I did say 'usually.' :grin: Plenty of wooks and tour rat riff raff at those shows as well.  Maybe head towards Williston, ND or other boom towns if you're in search of gypsies.

I accidently puddled myself one night with some very strong clean liquid to where i couldnt see my hand in front of my face at a medium-small drum circle gathering.  I couldnt see where i was going and stumbled in a gypsy camp of a family who was doing some weird pagan fire performances booked earlier in the evening.  The older lady started fucking with me big time by repeating things i was saying and just general fuckery.  I had to just leave because i couldnt take it or tell wtf she was trying to accomplish.  She seemed of middle eastern decent and had a huge family.  This was in SE USA.  Only time ive met gypsies, but i know a ton of nomads.

Irish Travellers (Irish: an lucht siúil) or Pavee, also called Tinkers or Gypsies (but not to be confused with the Romani people), are a traditionally itinerant people of ethnic Irish origin, who maintain a set of traditions[1][2] and a distinct ethnic identity. Although predominantly English speaking, some also use Shelta and other similar cants. They live mostly in Ireland as well as having large numbers in the United Kingdom and in the United States.[3] Around 10,000 people in the United States are descendants of Travellers who left Ireland, mostly during the period between 1845 and 1860 during the Great Famine.[4] About 2,500 of them live in Murphy Village, a community outside North Augusta, South Carolina.[5]

Christ, anyone ever been to Murphy village?

Friend, the people in the show are Irish Travelers, you're thinking of Romani people. If you watch the show there is an episode with a Romani girl though. G*psie is considered a slur by Romani people and the show itself is pretty terrible.


--------------------
“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”

If they say they are from Ireland they cannot be the Romani people who are called gypsies, not the same people at all


But I think it is pretty obvious this is just another "reality" show with shitty actors and an even shittier plot

Yeah, I grew up in a gypsy neighborhood in southern france, they're dirty as fuck but they're not all bad people and they have a pretty complicated history. Most kids start smoking around age 10 too (or younger), it's pretty weird.

There were a decent amount of gypsies over here ten years ago, and then Bulgaria and Romania became EU members and now you can't go downtown without hearing the Godfather theme on accordion.

I think the finnish gypsies are mostly in the east, around Stockholm, where the stereotype is they wear taxi jackets and brown slacks. But I don't know. My first day after moving to Göteborg I was hassled by a gypsy couple who spoke swedish, and their accents might have been finnish, or else magyar, because I can't tell the difference.

Anyway:


Also Aquarela do Brazil has become a popular street accordion song. Stop ruining classic movies!

I have no first-hand experience with Romani people, so I can't really form an opinion of them...

Almost everything I've ever heard about them I have not liked though...

Do they get on trains there with their portable boombox on wheels and play a quick song through little wind instruments and then go around with a cup and get off by the next stop?

I enjoy the music but it's always the same song.

Oh yeah, they do that. Also, when you are eating outside at an restaurant, they will play and go around for tips. I hate the subway musicians the most because whether they suck or are kinda okay you HAVE to listen to them and then usually tell them away.

Friend, the people in the show are Irish Travelers, you're thinking of Romani people. If you watch the show there is an episode with a Romani girl though. G*psie is considered a slur by Romani people and the show itself is pretty terrible.




I watched a few episodes of season 1, and they called themselves Romani numerous times.





If they say they are from Ireland they cannot be the Romani people who are called gypsies, not the same people at all


But I think it is pretty obvious this is just another "reality" show with shitty actors and an even shittier plot




Yes, I agree. If nothing else its presenting an entire group of people as a monolith.

Second replier, I have seen the series and never once heard the people in the show self-refer as Romani. The narrator made generalizations about g*psies including Romani but did not to my recollection identify any of the participants bar one that I recall as actually being Roma.

For anyone who's interested, more on racism against Roma. Considering that Roma are a racial group who experience racism and racism is, from what I've read, against the forum rules, perhaps people can stop referring to them as 'dirty' etc. etc.


--------------------
“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”

Quote:

When Romani refugees were allowed into Canada in 1997, a protest was staged by 25 people, including neo-Nazis, in front of the motel where the refugees were staying. The protesters held signs that said, for examples, "Honk if you hate Gypsies," "Canada is not a Trash Can," and "G.S.T. — Gypsies Suck Tax." (The last is a reference to Canada's Goods and Services Tax, also known as GST.) The protesters were charged with promoting hatred, and the case, called R. v. Krymowski, reached the Supreme Court of Canada in 2005.[29]




The motel where that protest happened is very close to where my parents live. I would guess that most people around here are unaware that there are Roma people in the area at all though. Organized racism is a pretty tiny fringe movement around here.

“These are jews, a culture synonymous with swindlers. The phrase jew and cheater have been so interchangeable historically that the word has entered the English language as a verb: he jewed me. Well the jews have jewed us. Too many have come here as false refugees. And they come here to jew us again and rob us blind as they have done in Europe for centuries … They’re jews. And one of the central characteristics of that culture is that their chief economy is theft and begging.”

Roma is a distinct ethnic group. What you some of you folks are saying is no different than the above--simply replace the bold terms with 'gypsies', 'gypsy', 'gypped', 'gyp' where appropriate to see the depths of the racism.

I met some today. They were racist (towards middle eastern people) but nice otherwise.

I was taking a picture of their wagon being surrounded by newly built appartment complexes.

One came out of the wagon shouting: "what the fuck ya doin?"

I calmly explained that I thought it was odd that all of their wagons were getting surrounded by appartments. They told me that this was the policy of the local government. They tried to pay them to leave but when they declined all the offers they started surrounding them by buildings. Appearently this is happening all over the region which gave me a new topic for a new photography series.

So, this means I will be seeing my gypsy friends again shortly.

I can post the picture later, I will be photoshopping it soon.

I don't see anyone in here saying anything like that. I think what most people have a problem with is a certain gypsy lifestyle, which many roma people follow. A white person living in the same way would face similar attitudes, while a roma person with a regular job and responsible life, or say a successful roma artist, would not.
Some people would hate gypsies regardless though, but fuck those guys.

Yeah criticizing a culture is not racism. The belief that a certain ethnic group is genetically predisposed to bad behavior (as the Nazis believed) is racist. Automatically associating membership in a given cultural group with negative traits is bigotry, but it's not necessarily racism even if the group has a common ethnic background.
