History Speaks: Do We Listen? Porrajmos, and the Resurgence of Anti-“Gypsy” Extremism

To persecute groups like the Roma is to persecute our own secret selves. To criminalize an entire ethnic group is to vandalize our own secret identities…In our hearts we know that we are all misunderstood, how easy then to turn against the weakest in our midst and blame them for all our ills. The Roma are in danger of becoming the scapegoats for our fears. The real crime is ours, the crime of turning their life into a waking nightmare.

Dear Mr. Sharma,
Re: Your representation as a leader for Hindus in Canada
I act for the United Hindu Congress of Canada (hereinafter “My Clients”).
I am instructed that you have been proclaiming yourself as the leader of Hindus in Canada, and
claiming to represent Hindus in Canada and in Ontario.
It is my Client’s position that you do not represent 80% of Hindus in Canada, as you have stated
in the past, nor do you represent any significant amount of Hindu Temples in Canada or
Ontario.
