Actor Bob Hoskins was Roma.

Actor Bob Hoskins was Roma. | The Roma people originally came from the India/Pakistan area 500-1000 years ago. They were likely driven out by war. Europeans saw their dark skin & called them Egyptians; this was eventually simplified to Gypsies. They faced so much oppression that they made a rule forbidding them to spend 2 nights in the same place; constant wandering was a form of self defense. There are thought to be 10-12 million Roma around today. | image tagged in gypsy romani flag,historical meme,discrimination,holocaust,stereotypes | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
