Romani Chaji: How we want to be called

The racist term: Where does it come from and why is it a discriminatory term?
In this video, Romani Chaji explains everything about the racist term used against Sinti and Romani people.

Romani Chaji is a girl group of RomaniPhen e.V. from Berlin and produces her own short films, podcasts, poems and stories that deal with her everyday life. Like many other Romani and Sinti people, they are often confronted with the racist term and have already addressed this in several contributions. This short film is produced by Estera Iordan, who works with animation and visual arts.
