I do know a gypsy that made decent music, and is pretty famous for it. But he didn't make gypsy music, he made ordinary pop stuff. His stage name is Connect-R, if you want to sample his stuff.

@alyx yeah same story with that dude. It’s not gypsy music and he’s not a gypsy because he’s an ex-gypsy.

@emilis
No, this guy is pretty proud of his gypsy heritage. He did a bit of a publicity stunts in one of his concerts, where he revealed in the middle of the show that he was wearing a shirt that had "I'm a gypsy" on it. People were a little pissed that they went to a show that turned into a diversity training thing.

Madonna had a similar experience, when in the middle of the show she tried to preach against racism towards gypsies, and she was booed.

@alyx hating gypsies based on race is stupid and small brain pilled

hating them for living in basically antisocial communities is based though.

@emilis @alyx
> [identity politics] is stupid and small brain pilled

agree

@look @alyx that second statement is probably the craziest fucking twist of my words I’ve ever fucking seen

@emilis @alyx let's just call them "lumpenproletariat"

@look @alyx no they are just gay

@emilis
>are you really European if you don’t hate gypsies though?

Me: *existential crisis*
