all right so I'm going to be reading
Romani representation in popular TV
shows and movies as a Romani person
starting off with the Netflix show peaky
blinders
um where's the Romani supposed to be
based on a mixed Irish and Romani family
however I don't see a single Romani
actor it's full of stereotypes like the
Romani crime family I'm trying to pass
off silly Murphy speaking broken
Romanian a Latin language as him
speaking Romani an Indian language and
the Romani woman looked like she was
wearing a gypsy Halloween costume they
try to fix it in a later season by
saying like three anglo-rawani words but
it's just overall bad representation two
out of ten next we have Hulu Shadow this
whole series was based on the story of a
Romani family without including a single
little money actor not even Consulting
the actual family people from the actual
Romani family saw this show and were
Furious they completely misrepresented
an entire Romani family based on
stereotypes 0 out of ten Paramount plus
is 1883. I hired an actual Romani
actress Graciela bronquish she consulted
with traditional members of her
community to make sure she wasn't being
stereotypical I love her for that eight
out of 10.
