Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
This is an image of four Roma women, possibly arrested for telling fortunes, from a New York Police Department arrest photograph, July 21, 1934. Original source unknown. Web Source.
I love the Romni on the left. She’s like “yeah bitches, so what?” I can just hear her cussing in Romanes…
Omg. Seriously? You need to really learn something about the world.
This girl is neither European nor a gypsy.
She is a little girl from Khakrez, Afghanistan. The photo was taken by Oz Kirkham and can be found here.
I am so tired of seeing things like this. DO YOUR FUCKING RESEARCH BEFORE POSTING IMAGES AND TAGGING THEM HOWEVER YOU PLEASE.
Weheartit needs to die in a fire. So does every single boho-gypsy girl on here who thinks that it’s cute and edgy to post images and mistag them because they can’t be arsed to do a little research about the group of people they are mislabeling and stereotyping.

^ REAL RACISTS.
Petra Gelbart; Livia Jaroka; Gabriela Hrabanova
These are all famous Roma women (Romnji) and all are not “dark skinned” with “dark eyes”… in fact, Petra has green eyes.
So, tell me again how I cannot be Roma?
Strong, educated Roma Women
Top Left - Bottom Right:
Alina Serban, Petra Gelbart, Livia Jaroka, Esmeralda Romanez, Alina Covaci, and Ostalinda Maya Ovalle.
These women are Lawyers, MEPs, PhD, Human Rights Activists, Philologists, Sociologists…
Who said Roma women can’t be educated and be Roma?
Who said Roma women are prostitutes and baby-makers?
Who said Roma women are as dark and poor as the dirt?
These women give me hope.

Gypsy Woman, 1920’s
This is not a “gypsy woman”.
This is a 1900’s family photograph turned into a postcard. These are kids playing dressup. The original photograph (here) shows four young women (two dressed as witches, two dressed as gypsies). Postcards/Photographs like this were popular throughout the late 18th and early 19th century.
It’s easy enough to search something like this on google. Seriously.
