Could everybody in this forum please call the gypsies Roma instead of gypsies. Out of respect. Of course you don't have to, just a request.

I haven't heard them referred to as "gypsies" except when the Nazi Allen-T pretended to come on the forum as a Czech man and called them gypsies.

People usually refer to them as gypsies as an insult. Those nazi psychos use word 'gypsy' as a general insult for anyone they can.

In Serbia there is a large Roma populations.

But I absolutely agree with Serbian Chetnik. In some Parts of Serbia people don't throw food away in the bins, but rather give them or put them into containers on the side for those who are homeless or really poor. Many of those are Roma.

Gypsy is not a derogatory word. It just means Egyptian, and many people believed the Roma were Egyptians. In fact they arrived in Europe from Egypt, and some of them also believed to have Egyptian origin. But they preffer to be called Roma and it's better to respect their wish. Now everyone agrees they came from India.

Where do average Serbs stand on Roma? I understand many of them are quasi-Muslims, but yet that they are often persecuted by the real Muslims (i.e. Albanians and Bosnians). Also, Chaim has said that some of them allied themselves with the Germans in WWII, and some didn't.
