Description was written before the event

Puppet Debate on the theme Am I Roma, Is That a Problem? will take place on May 25 at ARCHA+.

ČA SUN! – NOW LISTEN! I'm Black, who else? There's no "Gypsy" like "Gypsy", he said. So where's the problem with these Roma? Those who get on people's nerves. A bit of suffocating anxiety, isn't it? Racist, he heard from the Roma. Hey more, hey gadjo! Mitigating circumstance?

I'm not saying racism doesn't exist…

Roma should strive for their own state. More, love! Gypsies! Mxdky Black, a woman shouted at Roma children. I assure you, I know plenty of decent Roma who just want to live normally. Even if he's a Gypsy, he's not dilino. No work, no love! The nineties didn't end it, open racism remains part of Roma life. Am I Roma, is that a problem?

The event takes place as part of the world Roma festival Khamoro.
