Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of ‘humor’ really is, and I regret it deeply.

    In the US it has more of the fantasy trappings associated with it due to alot of pop culture stuff that we see, we just have this romantic notion of gypsies from Dracula and the Wolfman. In Europe though, I feel like even the most progressive European will instantly turn pretty negative when talking about gypsies in their own countries, I’ve never seen a European have anything good to say about Roma. Otherwise my only experience with them is listening to the band Gogol Bordello and that’s about it.
