Europe allows folks in their country to kill Romani people legally. You must be joking. I thought Europe was against the death penalty. They can't do that.
Marvel is ignorant. Then why did they make Doctor Doom and the Maximoff twins Romani? They knew who Romani folks were back in the day, obviously. They didn't have to make that a part of their origin story. They should have done their homework. In terms of Hollywood, I feel it is IMPOSSIBLE to cast Romani actors/actresses. Speaking for myself, I don't know of ANY of them. But then again, I didn't know the actors/actresses who were cast for the Shang-Chi, Echo and Ms. Marvel roles either. I hear they're actually racially accurate and were/written by East Asian, Native American and Muslim writers respectively. So I do think Hollywood is doing a bit better on this front. It's too late for the Scarlet Witch now but maybe they'll fix things with Doctor Doom (I doubt it though). Look, I think Olsen is a fine actress and I like her Wanda. But she still doesn't feel like the Scarlet Witch to me from the comic books. She's a SoCal girl, not some lady from Eastern Europe.
I don't know of any Romani writers either. I think Marvel should TRY to recruit some, but I don't think they're interested. To be honest, I used to be pretty upset that the Washington Redskins changed their name. Yes, I know it's not woke to say that, but I just loved the traditions of that team. There's lots of history there. BUT, after I read an article by the late Charles Krauthammer that showed why he thought a name change was necessary (it was a good piece talking about how words don't stand still, and how they evolve), I sort of accepted it:

The reason why I'm talking about Krauthammer is he did mention something about the Roma in his article. It's interesting how he mentioned that the word "gyp" had negative connotations. I didn't know that!
