Today is #InternationalRomaDay, a day to celebrate the Roma but also to raise awareness. Here are a few reminders: Roma ≠ Traveller; Roma ≠ Romanian. Gypsy is a slur based on a racialising exonym. Roma are a group of Indian origin, many of whom speak the Romani language. (1/3) 
Please read my blogpost hosted by @RaceEDS detailing some of our history, and the racism we face across Europe race.ed.ac.uk/the-roma-holoc… (2/3)
If you’re a Roma artist, academic, creative, activist, etc, please feel free to add to this thread to showcase your work. If you know someone else who is, also please share it. I want to create a little space to amplify other Roma voices. Opre Roma (3/3).
