“She is a Hungarian politician. She is a Member of the European Parliament, first elected as part of the Fidesz list in 2004. Járóka is the second Romani (and the first Romani woman) ever elected to the European Parliament (after Juan de Dios Ramírez Heredia from Spain, who served from 1986 to 1999).”

The Rom didn't arrive in Europe until the late 1300s. We didn't reach France or England until the mid 1400s.

We were enslaved in Wallachia, Transylvania, and Moldavia pretty much from the time we got there until the 1880s (in Transylvania and Moldavia). This was chattel enslavement (where people were livestock), and is the longest continuous period of chattel enslavement in the history of the world. Spain also enslaved us as did France and England, long before the colonization of Africa and the Americas.

Not all of us were slaves, but we were still persecuted and genocided. The anti-Egyptian laws by King Henry 8th and an active actual genocide in Spain in the 1500s, are examples that you can look up.

We were sent as slaves to the American Colonies as well, particularly the Spanish, Portuguese and some French and English Colonies.

The history of circuses is very intertwined with romani history.

I’m not going to reveal who sent us this, but just know that your second paragraph is very, very odd.

The Romani people do not want a “state” in our “homeland”. We do not have a single “homeland” and most of us consider our birth/resident country or mother earth to be our home, wherever we are.

According to the current historical consensus, we fled north India over 1000 years ago and have a distinct culture of our own. Indians do not see us as the same nor do we consider them Roma and for many of us the distinction is visual as well as cultural. We have been constantly oppressed by nationalist policies and ethnic supremacy.

I and my family especially do not believe in borders or states, for me this is central to my culture as a Romani person. We are a people, not a landmass.

Same goes for if you’re anti-romani
