Abstract

The Rroma community is a fascinating research subject; their history, traditions, culture, and lifestyle prompted many researchers to delve deeper into topics that centred around this ethnicity. There is a big possibility that we pass someone from this community every day. This possibility is a certainty if we find ourselves in Romania, the case study country selected for this research. Despite often passing by members of this ethnicity, many of their struggles and battles with discrimination and racism remain unspoken in the busy society of today, fearful about wars and waves of refugees, facing political and economic uncertainty, and being torn between the rise of extremists left and right. However, the Rromas were always here, regardless of all the turmoil other societies faced; they walked through all of it, stateless, less protected by a home country that could ensure their rights and safety. Pushed at the margins of societies, the Rroma face constant discrimination. This research aims to find the link between their stateless status and the racist behaviour aimed towards them.
