00:00 The hosts discuss the use of the term "Gypsy" and its association with being gypped or ripped off, and mention that they will try to use the term "Roma" or "Romani" instead.

04:41 There is an International Roma Day, but the Roma people are often forced to move and face discrimination and eviction in many European countries.

09:42 The Roma people, also known as Gypsies, face discrimination and eviction in many European countries, but they have found some stability in Romania and Transylvania, where they were led by Vlad Drakuil in the 15th century, and they believe they originally came from India and migrated out around 700 AD.

14:35 The Roma people, also known as Gypsies, were moved from Turkey to Transylvania and Wallachia, where some were purchased by Vlad Drakkul, and they have a fragmented religion and language, and have faced discrimination and slavery in Romania for 400 years.

19:08 During World War II, the Roma people were targeted and suffered tremendously, with an estimated half a million executed, and they have a word for this genocide called "poremos," meaning the great devouring.

23:18 The Roma Holocaust was largely ignored and not mentioned at the Nuremberg trials, and only one SS officer was ever prosecuted for crimes against the Roma, despite the fact that half a million Roma died during World War II. The Roma people were mistakenly believed to have come from Egypt because they settled in the Greek Isles, which were known as Little Egypt, and they still maintain many of their traditional trades and practices today, such as music and metalworking. The media has perpetuated lies and untruths about the Roma, and their reputation as pickpockets and thieves is partly earned due to their poverty and forced displacement. However, not everything reported in the media should be believed. The Roma are considered a middleman minority, refusing to assimilate but still maintaining enough contact with the larger culture to benefit economically.

28:10 Romani women are expected to stay home and work while men may or may not work, and arranged marriages are still common, especially for young girls, with a literacy rate that makes it especially hard on young women, and employment is seen as a side thing to do when money is needed, but under communism, the Roma were given jobs in factories before being fired after communism disintegrated, leading to more complaints of stealing and thievery.

33:02 The Roma people have faced dehumanization and exploitation due to their lack of a documented history, but in the 1970s, Romani activists organized the first world Romani Congress, leading to the official recognition of the Roma as an ethnic group by the UN in 1978.

38:41 Assimilation poses a threat to the Romani culture, but other groups, such as the Chinese and Jewish people, have managed to maintain their ethnic and cultural identities even after assimilating into new places.

43:03 The hosts discuss their hypothetical choices for time travel destinations and what they would bring with them.
