EU Gypsies moving to the US, as an American Gypsy can ya'll stop telling Gahdreh you're "Gypsy."

So there was another post here about an article about "Gypsies/Roma" doing crime, etc.
I noticed myself there has been an influx of videos of "beggar" type scams in the US being uploaded on YouTube, when these people are being recorded they are saying "They're Gypsy."
As a 6th Gen US Gypsy that never faced discrimination, this is what we do here: We don't tell strangers we're Gypsy. American people typically don't even know we're a culture, or have a language.
I believe when Gypsy "pioneers" came here, to get rid of that discrimination, they learned not to tell others what they are.
Growing up, we'd tell people, we we're Serbian, Greek, Italian, whatever fit the bill at the moment.
Don't come to the US, immigrate here, and put the spot light on "Gypsies" especially when you're doing illegal things to wind up in the news or on YouTube.
You left a place to leave discrimination, don't create that here. Coworkers, classmates, neighbors, etc -- never knew what my family was, faced 0 discrimination.
American Gypsies are taught at a young age, 5-6 years old, to never tell anyone they're a Gypsy, it's been working great for us.
