#here’s a conversation that i’ve had maybe 15 times:#me: yeah i’m romani ✨#them: so...romanian?#me: well i’m romanian too. but romani as in roma 💞💘💕#them: ....#me: i’m a gypsy#them: OH#me further explaining: so u know esmeralda?#djdjdnd#reminder that gypsy is slur against the roma 🙇🏼♀️#thank you#i just use it because a lot of people haven’t heard of roma here in the west#(and to reiterate bc i am roma)#edit: sometimes i say roma or romani & they say:#so you’re from rome?#like okay now we’re getting colder.. aha#g slur#nina shhh
