Our sincere condolences to the families of the victims of #TreeOfLifeSynagogue shooting in #Pittsburgh. Senseless acts of hate such as these remind us of the importance of NOT staying indifferent to antisemitism, racism and hate. #TakeAction

“If you are not Romani, never wear Gypsy-themed costumes at Hallowe’en. And don’t call yourself Gypsy because you think you’re free spirited. These things are racist towards #Romani people.” https://t.co/CLddtZ2XF2 👏🏽 @jon_j_lee

"It is the essentialising of culture into fairy-tale tropes of evil fortune tellers and dancing seductresses. It is the appropriation of #Romani images and cultural practices at the expense of real people”. @GypsySport @voguemagazine @netflix @Marvel @wbpictures @DCComics

“Unfortunately, there is a lot more to it than a few nasty words and some garishly tacky costumes. In order to fight this phenomenon in our society, you need to understand how deep the rabbit hole really goes.” @GypsySport @Marvel @netflix @DCComics @wbpictures @voguemagazine
