The Bashalde controversy explained by me & more issues - USA vs Europe

The Bashalde controversy & who is Ian Hancock   In among the Romani diaspora within the United States of America of the "Hungarian-Slovak Gypsies" (the Servika & Ungrika Roma tribes) started the controversy, when Ian Hancock and Bill Duna innovatively created term for the musician "caste" the Bašaldé (Bashalde) to become a name of the whole tribe in the USA, as most Servika & Ungrika Roma who came there belonged to the musicians or were at least the blacksmiths with musician tradition (I will explain it later on).

  From outside of the communities: Racism This includes; - Verbal attacks & threats, including calls for sending the "Gypsies to the Gas chambers" or calling the Roma "black mouths. - Physical attacks, including arson attacks or Policemen violence on the Roma. - Genocide, including attacks on the Roma communities by the Para-Military or Terrorist groups whose aim is to eradicate the Roma in the territories under their realm.

Under the Institutional Racism also belong -> Disadvantage on getting Work (many Employers reject Roma to become their Employees), as well worse Health Care qua...
