Got to meet this lil sweetheart last night and she is now almost 3. I asked her what she loves the most right now... She thought and said "my friends". 😍 She told me she goes to daycare and that's where a lot of her friends are. Then she asked me "where do you live?" And as I stumbled around to find an answer like "everywhere and no where. My home is where my heart is 😆" her dad filled her in for me "she's a gypsy".
I was like... Yeah... I been going with nomad and noone has yet called me that but "gypsy will do" .
Our time was short but my heart has opened just a bit more having seen my sweet lil friend who is growing beautifully, again.

Over here, it would be taken as an insult.
Not here. But yeah, in my home country surely.
Interesting what decades of persecution do even to people who were not persecuted.
I don't understand what you are saying. This place is counter culture that's used to decades of transient traveler nomadic counter culture types and many have called themselves gypsy so it's definitely treated differently in these alternative circles.
I know, but for the authoritarian regimes they were one of the enemies, so regular people started to hate them, mainly because of state propaganda. And it persists decades after the regimes ended.
I am really not familiar with the history.
