Welcome!
Many of us might have heard of the gypsies, but how much do we really know of them?
What of their culture, what of their lifestyles, what more of the discrimination they've continuously faced?
More often than not, the answer is "not much".
Do not fret, for this is exactly what this website seeks to provide!
Not only will you be exposed to a variety of information on the Gypsies, you will have the opportunity to test your newfound knowledge.
After all, what good is knowledge if it is never applied?
Cultural awareness is an integral aspect of our lives, especially in the increasingly multicultural society of today. It is exceedingly important that we give others due respect, no matter what our personal opinions on them may be.
'Why gypsies?' you might ask.
Gypsies have been persecuted in Europe over a number of centuries, due to their nomadic lifestyle and refusal to integrate into the societies of the countries they go to. They are greatly discriminated against, showcasing the problems that racism can bring to a society. Perhaps, then, the gypsies will provide us with insights into our own multicultural societies.
