Roma representation

Given the significant presence of matchmakers in TS2 and the dissemination of the g slur in the game, i was thinking about a retraction of the franchise towards it with a pack (and free items too) bringing a correct and proper representation of the rom ethnicity. But as a gadjo i ask if there are there any romani in this forums who would like to see representation in the game. If yes, what related theme you think it could fit? How do you imagine it?

    Now with Life & Death i can definetly see a lot of clothes ressembling the european roma people and the fact that Ravenwood is inspired by Romania, where the Roma presence is really heavy, makes me really happy about it. Now i just feel the need to have some roma skirts (I'd accept new swatches for the BG long skirt) and accesories like headdresses.

    Wait... g y p s y is considered a bad word now? When did this happen?

    I'm all for representing Romani. Their caravans would be cool to have in the game. There could be whole parks/areas where they could have their caravans set up-- ranging from modern to old-fashioned. Maybe even some that are horse-drawn.

    I was thinking that maybe they could be featured in a Showtime inspired pack where a roma family would run a circus business and an amusement park/carnival. That would allow us to dive into the romani culture and their relation with circus art, giving fans things they want while they learn new things. But i don't know if there's anything problematic about this as i see circus art being very unknown and even depreciated.
