You can also say race how important it is
As an other my ethnicity is kinda a quasi race its what iam if you are white you might rather say you are white then irish or German though thats how it works
I dont really believe ethnicity is important or defines one or sets us apart its just a interesting detail like ones zodiac sign
I also do not see myself as either roma serb or define myself by my austrian citizenship
I list my ancestry i mean all of my ancestry and avoid to pick a side over another but usually people would pick roma and often a attack on roma here is a veiled or straight up personal attack on me thats why i defend myself but i dont think roma are always right i think there are many more evils in roma culture then lets say croat i also am not proud to be roma i was just born that way and i never had a choice
I discussed with Dardanos (i want to kiss his shining bald head) i wrote :
I saw your post about patriachal descendt for albanians by father and that you think im identifying as roma thats why im roma thats not entirely true my roma identity is not entirely self choosen but learned and partly imposed by social exclusion and discrimination. I also know what iam i mean entirely what iam and its not only roma but people would pick the roma part to characterise me i avoid characterising myself or picking a side over another i just state neutral what my ancestry is.
