Wandavision (and Wanda in mcu in general) has done worse for Romani activism than anything else in this goddamn world. And I am only 40% joking. There have been over ELEVEN Wanda stans on twitter being outted as racefaking as Roma within the time the shows been airing alone. This show makes gadze act fucking wild.
I haven’t heard much about the Sámi people before. Thanks for sharing! It’s interesting to see some of the parallels.
Yes I agree with all your points. It is too uncommon to leave specific people (usually the most “undesirable” populations like disabled, trans, and Romani people) out of certain discussions or movements. It happens in the past, it happens now, it happens even on this site. We do always have to strive to do better and to advocate for who we tend to continuously forget about.
Yes the 5% thing is so cruel right. The quote about animals and Gypsies being portioned out really got to me when I read it.
Yep, one of those things that makes you go “I can’t believe this exists yet I 100% can believe it”
