One American said to me: I now see you as The Golden Gypsy, a wrestler wearing just a black vest, a string of garlic around your neck, and striped baggy Arabian trousers, in the ring with your opponent, The Singing Plowboy Richmondbread, sporting a straw hat, blue overalls and mud boots.
He basically equals me with a cowboy redneck, that other dude really does country music, really acts and thinks racist, and he really wears mudboots. I dont wear garlic around my neck, neither arabian baggy trousers. I didnt choose to act, think, or live a certain way though.
I replied
And what do you see yourself as? Do you think you are better then me or more respected character or higher race or more civilised and cultured because Im a Gypsy?
Also you make fun of Richmondbread as well. But you make fun of me for something which is inherently in my DNA and for something which I didnt choose to be and cannot change, while you make fun of Richmondbread for his redneck attitudes and cowboy attitudes, which is music genre and lifestyle. So thats very different. But I guess you dont realise it really.
Every race can get discriminated but I think the bad part is, that it is still politcally correct and mainstream to be racist to gypsies or roma. No one understands it is racist, and wrong.
