A Forgotten Culture


There are many cultures throughout the world that have their own value to the people who are a part of them. But have you ever thought of giving value to something that is not yours? To see the beauty that other people see in their heritage and their lives and understand what it means to them.

The Tigani, or Gypsies, have long been passed off as dirty criminals in Romania, not even given a second look when passed by. But why is it that people can let this form of racism go, when other forms are instantly shot down?



This is not a blog hoping to make gypsies look holy and innocent, many of them are criminals, however it is the same case for humans, so will you hate your own species and be represented by the bad individuals a part of it? Will people never realize that you cannot hope to generalize a whole nationality as innocent or guilty? And that it is wrong to treat a person a certain way based on what you have seen others like them do.
