Is it still common for romanies to think that non-romans are unclean? I know romani people are not one monolithic group but this has come up a few times when I have tried to study and learn about their/yours culture. My intention is not to attack nor insult your people but this whole clean and unclean mentality is really baffling to me. I can understand it being useful in the past but not so in today's society

The honest fact is, non-Romani are not ‘clean’ in the same ways that we are. We have a lot of cleanliness rules and we still practice many of them - especially where food is concerned. When I used to work in an office with non-Roma, I found it quite a challenge. They’d sneeze everywhere, put dirty hands all over everything, eat with a fork they dropped on the floor (or eat food they dropped on the floor). They’d take food and drink into the rest room, leave dirty tissues everywhere… people don’t clean things very well - even here at home, I clorox every surface, keep the toilet lid closed, rinse out the sinks every time I use them… keep raw meat away from other foods (raw or cooked). These things just make sense to me and honestly, the way non-Romani live their lives is quite baffling to me. How do you do it without being sick all the time or catching parasites from meats (pork is SO bad for that)….? I don’t understand how you can even consider half the things you do as “clean”…

A couple years ago, I was spent a long time reading your blog and learned a lot about Roma. I'm Jewish, so I especially took note of the fact that Roma usually aren't mentioned in Holocaust Remembrance activities. So this year, I made sure to include a reading about Roma in the Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony my friend and I organized (we used excerpts from a speech by Laszlo Teleky). I want to thank you for educating me and giving me the chance to hold a more inclusive ceremony.

Thank you. It means a great deal.
