Why call them Roma? They would be gypses back then? or probably something else but definitely not Roma. Roma is a term pushed by the EU in order to "help integrate".
It made me curious how they integrated Roma in to this. was watching a video on youtube about it and a lot of them fought on the side of the Turks/Ottoman invaders. There is one thing to say you bought slaves and another thing to come to try to conquer and then ending up a slave.
Also I assume they're going to portray gypses as poor innocent victims despite being able to objectively observe their "culture" today.
A little bit. Millers were often hated by the common folk and called thieves - not because they were robbers or fenced stolen goods, but because they were often suspected (or really did) of stealing people's grain and keeping more than the agreed upon amount of wheat.
Funny thing, I had a teacher that used to work with some gypsies and he told me that if he was to call them Roma they would have punched him. Not everyone was happy with the "rebranding".

Exactly, and they're still gypsies today. Roma is a tomato.
If you let the enemy control the language you use, then you've already lost.
from what i've seen, the "nomad camps" (gypsy camps) are the places where you dump your stolen goods and stolen horses
i dunno who has the essential tag on, but the random gypsies in the camp can be killed.
That makes a lot more sense than millers being the network of thieves. Was that based on any historic precentant?

Here's a machine-translated article talking about it: https://cesky-radio-cz.translate.goog/v-cesku-mame-zkresleny-pohled-na-mlynare-8726089?_x_tr_sl=cs&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Apparently "Gypsy" is a slur word in most online games you can get banned for that 🤔
