Anti-Romani Sentiment
Anti-Romani sentiment (also called antigypsyism, anti-Romanyism, antiziganism, ziganophobia, or Romaphobia) is an ideology which consists of hostility, prejudice, discrimination, racism, and xenophobia which is specifically directed at Romani people (Roma, Sinti, Iberian Kale, Welsh Kale, Finnish Kale, Horahane Roma, and Romanichal). Non-Romani itinerant groups in Europe such as the Yenish, Irish and Highland Travellers are frequently given the name "gypsy" and as a result, they are frequently confused with the Romani people. As a result, sentiments which were originally directed at the Romani people are also directed at other traveler groups and they are frequently referred to as "antigypsy" sentiments. The term ''antigypsyism'' is recognized by the European Parliament and the European Commission as well as by a wide cross-section of civil society. Muslim Roma may face two forms of discrimination: anti-Romani sentiment and Islamophobia. The Romani within the LGBTQ c ...

Names Of The Romani People
The Romani people are known by a variety of names, mostly as ''Gypsies'', ''Roma, Romani'', ''Tsinganoi'', ''Bohémiens,'' and various linguistic variations of these names. There are also numerous subgroups and clans with their own self-designations, such as the Sinti, Kalderash, Boyash, Manouche, Lovari, Lăutari, Machvaya, Romanichal, Romanisael, Calé, Kale, Kaale, Xoraxai, Xaladytka, Romungro, Ursari, and Sevlengere. In English, the word ''gypsy'' is most common. In some regions, ''Roma'' is the primary term used in political contexts to refer to the Romani people as a whole. Because all Roma use the word ''Romani'' as an adjective, Romani began to be used as an alternative noun for the entire ethnic group. It is used by organizations such as the United Nations and the US Library of Congress. However, the World Roma Congress, the Council of Europe and other organizations use the term ''Roma'' to refer to Romani people around the world, and recommend that ''Rom ...

Ethnic Studies
Ethnic studies, in the United States, is the interdisciplinary study of difference—chiefly race, ethnicity, and nation, but also sexuality, gender, and other such markings—and power, as expressed by the state, by civil society, and by individuals. Its antecedents came before the civil rights era, as early as the 1900s. During that time, educator and historian W. E. B. Du Bois expressed the need for teaching black history. However, Ethnic Studies became widely known as a secondary issue that arose after the civil rights era. Ethnic studies was originally conceived to re-frame the way that specific disciplines had told the stories, histories, struggles and triumphs of people of color on what was seen to be their own terms. In recent years, it has broadened its focus to include questions of representation, racialization, racial formation theory, and more determinedly interdisciplinary topics and approaches. As opposed to international studies, which was originally created t ...
