And it’s absolutely beautiful

I’ll be on the lookout. I know of gofundme’s for Italian evicted Roma but have seen nothing thus far for Brazil

Wait omg these emojis are great I didn’t realize we had them

This is super informative, thank you

I hate the comparison of Gypsy to the N word tbh it always feels undermining antiblackness to me. Many of us call ourselves Gypsy and Gypsy is not usually used as an insult. Other words for us are bad like tsigane or cigani. Some of those literally mean “slave”

Well I have also seen nonwhite leftists be compared to conservatives for critiquing white leftists who are racist and I didn’t like that comparison either. There is a difference between leftists critiquing each other vs conservatives and I’d trust us all to be smart enough to know that

I’ve answered this before if you wanna scroll through my comments for a more detailed reply but yes. Also inb4 you say it, this does not mean I think men can say bitch. Gypsy is not a slur and so it’s more complex

Gypsy is a much more complex word than people think. I don’t consider it a slur, most Gypsies don’t. Most Americans don’t know who Romani people are either so it’d usually necessary to say

That was putting words into my mouth then. My post was moreso “as leftists we shouldn’t use the word because we should know better.”

Also that’s your opinion. I do think language is important. If I don’t want men calling me bitch or white people calling me Gypsy, than they shouldn’t compare me to conservatives or try to make it seem like my point is undermining the leftist cause.
