  • About antiziganism - the specific racism against Sinti* and Roma*
What is antiziganism?

Antiziganism is the specific racism against Sinti* and Roma* and people who are considered to be Sinti* and Roma*. The antigypsyist clichés are an attribution of the majority society and construct those affected as "the others".

Antiziganism stabilises power relations and inequality.
