      ^ This. In my native Hungary, as much as we would all count as “white” to someone from an actually racially diverse country, people are still super racist against Romani people. Even allegedly progressive people.

      Many Romani Americans keep their identity a secret due to harmful stereotypes from the media that depict >Roma as nomads, scammers, beggars and thieves.[50] 70% of Romani Americans hide their Romani identity to avoid stigmatization

      That seems worse than in Europe

        Never once heard of romani existing in the US, so that’s believable. I mean in theory they must.

          Gypsy Sisters existed (I didn’t name the show sue TLC not me). We’ve got 'em, but if the other guy’s number is correct at 1mil there’s 6x less than Native Americans, and, when is the last time you’ve seen one of them either (depending on location)?

            No that was just your cousin Roman who wants to go bowling. Niko himself is an ethnically Serbian Yugoslavian war vet.

            Least favorite GTA game hands down, too. All hail Vice City and San Andreas.
