Happy International Romani Day! (April 8th)
Wishing all the Romani people on this site a good day, and a thank you for how much your cultures have contributed to the world.
You are more than the stereotypes and harmful prejudices that people try to apply to you.
You are loved and appreciated, and you deserve the world.
❤️

Happy International Romani Day!
To celebrate the real #InternationalRomaniDay, this post will cover the fictional Rom Dr. Victor von Doom. In Fantastic Four Special #1 "My Dinner with Doom", Doom uses the Rapprochement Festival to invite Reed Richards over to dinner.
Dr. Doom sets the mood for Reed with Haydn's Quartet in F Minor.
Opus 20 No. 4 is said by Haydn to be "in the [Romani] style". (the z-word, an exonym which comes from Greek for untouchables should not be used)
Opus 20 No. 5 is what’s performed on page.
Doom has prepared Romani cuisine that were his mother's favorites for his dinner with Reed. The first named dish is sarma: cabbage leaves stuffed with rice, minced meat, and spices. As for the rest, I'm unsure if some are simply for the fictional Latveria or based on a real dish.
The care and intimacy with which Doom planned his date with Reed is significant. To invite Reed over and share his mom and culture's cuisine is no small thing for Doom. If I made any error in this post please let me know. Any insight and further comments welcome!

Happy International Romani Day
Today is also the total solar eclipse across North America and it was very cool to see for myself.
But in the Romani context, this day is important for us to celebrate our culture, learn about our history, and to advocate for Romani rights across the world.
If you aren’t Romani but still wish to observe this day, then I invite you to visit the website for the European Roma Rights Centre where various articles can be found on Romani life, as well as the various forms of oppression we are subject to. It’s a very valuable resource for learning about Romani Rights.
Another valuable source of information that is more easily digestible are the shorts and videos made by Florian Tacorian on YouTube and TikTok. He’s Kalderash from Romania and his videos shed light on daily life for Roma, our traditions and culture, as well as how our culture is perceived by outsiders and misrepresented.
Take this day as an opportunity to learn and appreciate our culture, as it makes you a better ally when advocating for our equal rights.
As for my Romani siblings across the world, things are getting better and I personally see gadje changing their views on Roma as they get more educated, even in real life. Stay vigilant and stay safe, but have faith in your neighbors and be proud of who you are.
Te aven baxtalo 💙❤️💚

Ok guys but get this: RAISA MIHAI as Esmeralda? She has musical experience (pianist and singer), aside from being talented and extremely beautiful! She is a Romani by the way.
Thank you for the suggestion @anxiousblkgirl
