This is the first episode after we reformed this podcast! Each episode will from now on be about one topic. We'll go more detailed and with lots of research into recording it, to fully understand and discuss the topic. We also established recording from multiple angles to make it a better experience for you! Soon we'll also welcome our first guests. In this episode, we exposed all misconceptions about Romania, our new home country. For us, it's one of the most misunderstood countries in Europe. It's time to change that!

La revedere & Ciao! - Розваги
Vad ca majoritatea comentatorilor se simt lezați ca Romaniac a mai făcut unele greșeli în ceea ce privește istoria noastră, în loc sa aprecieze ca ei au corectat multe concepții greșite pe care le au străinii despre tara noastră.E normal sa mai și greșească, nu toate informațiile de pe internet sunt exacte.
Mi a plăcut mult podcastul, la cât mai multe, Romaniac!
🙏
Corect, dar in acelasi timp cred ca oricine ar face o greseala s ar astepta sa fie corectat, asa inveti, plus odata ce ai un podcast trebuie sa te astepti ca oamenii sa iti atraga atentia cand vorbesti prostii.
I'm watching this because my boyfriend is Romanian and wanted to make sure he's not a Vampire !! Thank you guys for confirming 🤗
lol
look, i'll give you a tip.
I am sure you know that the antidote for snake bite is also made of venom
At night, when he sleeps, try to suck him without him feeling you, and keep all the venom you extract in a small bottle without him knowing, and when he stings you deeply,deeply and you feel that you are left without breathing, don't panic because you have the antidote.😉
We are vampires,but only night! We drink beautiful girls❤😂
11:34 Roma people are nomad people and they traveled everywhere, not only to Romania. Ceausescu did not bring Punjabi people to work in factories. We would have known because most probably they would have lived among us. Roma people are recognized as a nomad minority even in India. They are not discriminated against because they were slaves. Many Romanians were slaves as well, usually the peasants who were very poor, at a time when slavery was everywhere in the world. They built their own parallel society because that's their culture, not because they were discriminated against. Agree that education is the key, but that's something that is not appreciated in their culture. I remember years ago reading in the news about children of wealthy Roma families who committed suicide because their parents no longer allowed them to go to school at the age of 12 and forced them to get married. There was a genocide of Roma people, not only Jews, by the Nazi regime, but you don't hear about that. Why? Because the lack of education does not allow them to have a voice. Of course, there are more educated Roma people nowadays but their culture is still the same.
*gypsies
The Slavs were slaves too. The rest of us were robi. Robii lui Dumnezeu. Gheorghe Dumnezeu :)
Linguistic and genetic evidence suggests that the Romani originated in the Indian subcontinent; in particular, the region of present-day Rajasthan. I think there is a Roma guy that has a youtube channel that speacks about the culture and the Roma people.
I appreciate your podcast. I am romanian, born and raised in Bucharest for 30 years and studied dentistry there. As a female I always felt safe at night times in the city and close by suburbs except in the ‘90. Many people were very poor back then and would steal, huge inflation, factories being closed and families losing one or both jobs; first wave of people left Romania in ‘90 then after entering EU in 2007
I now live in New Zealand for 3 years, so watching your videos with great pleasure
Cum e acolo?
I think the racism against roma people is strongly related to the image other countries have of their culture. Since being roma is considered as something extremely negative and since outsiders generalize and think romanians are roma, there is this overall frustration and necessity romanians feel to dissociate from that culture that isn't theirs at all and with which they do not relate in the slightest. Unfortunately, the image of romanians is "stained" by the bad examples from the roma communities that move to other countries and conduct themselves in a manner that isn't civilized in the eyes of our society's standards. The incapacity of foreigners to distinguish this 3% from the 97%, the constant "putting everyone in the same bag" mentality, harms the romanian people and sometimes puts them in positions that force them to be defensive and therefore hateful towards roma people.
I'm living in the UK in I totally agree with you.
Right answer 👌 Anca.apreciate for your explanation.
Couldn't have said it any better .. Spot on! I would also add the fact that the level of safety in our country oddly improved once the roma people started moving out to economically stronger countries.
Before joining EU we were shamed for not providing better life conditions for our roma minority(when in fact they were provided with more than the actual romanians).. And the loudest nation on this topic was France... Well, as soon as Romania joined EU, the first ones to break the borders were the roma people and now all of a sudden the countries that were bad mouthing us for not taking proper care of our roma minority had to deal with the issue themselves...(oopsie😈) integrating them and educating them(which we have tried doing). I need to mention that there are many roma individuals that are highly educated and stand up citizens within our country but unfortunately the majority chooses to stick to their own parallel belief system and lifestyle which is not appropriate within our societal values.
So yes, we do get frustrated when we are being portrayed as the thieves of society when in fact we are not... And that is why we NEED to dissociate from them.. i wouldn't call that being a racist but it's definetely the gateway attitude towards becoming one.
There is so much to talk about on this subject but that would be a topic for a podcast on its own.
You need an old enough person that had to grow in times where you were indeed afraid of certain gypsies roaming the streets.
There are different categories withing the gypsy community as well and they are not all the same.. I wouldn't want to be prejudiced towards them the same way Romanians are being prejudiced against within Europe. I blame the media and it takes people like the "Romaniacs" (peace and blessings be upon you) to shed light on the truth. ✌🏻❤️🇷🇴🐺🗻🦅
How can they NOT put everyone in the same basket when they see the names Romani, Rromani and Români? Pentru că suntem mămăligoși și lăsători pe mâine, au dreptate bulgarii.
No is not true, racism against rroms is not because they do a bad image of our country, is because of no integration and due high rate of criminality. Romania fail to integrate rroms in the society, nowdays is mach better but still have a lot to work about this
Thank you guys for talking so beautifully about my country. You are the best ambassadors we have and hope that your podcasts will open the eyes to more people to come and discover my country.
We hoep so too!😁
One more thing. I appreciate the idea that Romanians, instead of dreaming a "western dream", and migrating WEST, they shd rather start appreciating their country and do something in their motherland! 🙏🙏
Agreed!
We do. We are slowly bringing back to Romania the wealth that the Germanic Westerners have stolen from us for centuries. That in turn the Roman Empire had stolen from them. Quid pro quo. *ROMA AETERNA* anyway! Next of the menu: Russia.
Regarding children and the fact that many romanians only have a single child - this is not due to communism, it's actually because more and more people have become socially aware and financially educated so they weigh the decision of having 1 or more children very carefully. The cost of living compared to income is pretty high, so a child adds more financial stress. And before the christian fanatics jump on me, this is just an objective and factual observation, not just my oppinion.
Us, Romanians, have some good qualities but are also too thorough and nagging/critical. I think we shd appreciate what these two dudes are doing: _learning about us and promoting our culture and our country_ !! It does not matter if they got couple of facts wrong! What matters is the overall message! Well done, Romaniacs!😍🏆😍
the Romanian vs rroma thing, although correct in some parts, the current situation is not because we chose to separate them from our life. Actually, it's quite the contrary .... rroma people have free slots in schools, higher education created specially for them, more job opportunities and more, in an effort to integrate them into our society (i would not want to call it civilized because they are not barbarians) , yet they tend to stick to their traditions, that leading to self seclusion, that leading to less jobs (you need an actual social functionality in order to do your role in a society), that leading to more crimes and so on. Some rroma that I personally know that left that tribal mentality hate(although despise is a better term) the way rroma is carrying their lifestyle in these modern ages as well. And there s another thing.. It s not that we re racist, it s that we tend to hate with passion anybody that acts like they own the world, they are better, and degrades others just because ... In Romania, most of people that do this are rroma... but we ll gladly teach humility to a Caucasian if he (or she... because equal rights) acts like any of the before mentioned :) As you guys might noticed, we don t shy away from saying what we think (unfortunately in some cases)...
9:17 Romania was first United in 1600 from the 3 historical Principalities: Wallachia/Romanian Country, Moldova and Transylvania. Wallachia and Moldova united again in 1859 and Transylvania joined them in 1918. Wallachia became a principality in 1290 became independent in 1330 while Moldova became a principality in 1346, 16 years after Wallachia.
Before that, in ancient times the Dacian King Burebista Unified the Dacian tribes under one kingdom in the year 82 BC. The Romans fought the Dacians several times, the first Wars were won by the Dacians but the Romans finally conquered Dacia in 106 AD. In 275 AD the Romans left Dacia because of Invasion from the East. Between 1185 AD to 1280 AD there was a a Wallacho-Bulgarian Empire founded by the Romanian Asen Dynasty ( they might have been Wallachians mixed with the invading Cuman). From 275 to 1185 the Romanians/Wallachs were invaded by different people from the East: the Slavs, the Huns, the Avars, the Turkic tribes like: the Bulgars, the Cumans, the Pechengs, the Magyars ( ancestors of today Hungarians). But there have been been some Wallachian princes in today's Romania region in the 10th century: Gelu, Glad and Menumorut.
Overall a very good and informed video, but there are quite a few mistakes in what you said: Romania was formed in 1859, not 1912. The Roman empire actually conquered Dacia and Dacia was a Roman province for quite some time (Roman Dacia was a province of the Roman Empire from 106 to 271-275 AD, so about 8 generations). Romania was not part of the Soviet Union, like other countries like Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Lithuania, Estonia, etc, so there was no reason for Romanians to learn Russian, since Russia had no authority in Romania. Romania was just under the "influence" of Russia, let's say, both being communist countries. Romania has the 3rd lowest wage in the EU, not in the "entire Europe" as you said multiple times. So EU has 27 members and Europe has 44 countries, so at least 10-15 countries have lower wages and economies than Romania. Also I have read Bram Stoker's Dracula and it actually specifically says that the Dracula prince lived in a castle nearby Bistrita (which is a city in Transylvania), so it's actually set in Romania. And Bran Castle looks quite similar to the castle described in the book, so the decision was based on that, Bran castle was not randomly chosen to be Dracula's castle.
But Russia refused to call their troops back after the war and they were here for a few years and in that time in rural places Russian was learned in school. But Romania was never part of the USSR, it was never a Soviet Republic.
42:40 That's so wrong! Romania was under russian occupation between 1944 and 1958 when russian language was mainly learnt in schools as a foreign language. Romania was an independent country, it was never a soviet state. They did that to Moldova, which was a soviet state even though the people there spoke Romanian. Moldovans of Romanian origin still speak Romanian (and russian) nowadays.
You have to take in consideration that we got the orthodox christianity by proto-bulgarians, at that time the church language was bulgarian and we had the alphabet in chyrilic, afcourse the language it was still a form of "romanian", latin language, but highly slavic influenced.
First off all, thank’s for the great history lesson you gave me. You will help many foreigners who had the same perception as you before coming to Romania, but for many romanian’s like me who have kind of lost their trust in us as a country, but I rediscovered it through you, because many years all the news from outside the country was only about the bad perception that foreigners have about us. Big up!
WOW! thank you for this amazing comment! It really touched me! We hope that we can show more and more people the truth!
@@theromaniacshow because you show so many wrong things. Romania was not founded in 1912! search the internet better. Ceausescu didn' t buy Rroma to work in factories, he try to put the existing of them to work but with mixed results (to put it mildly!), a large part of future Romania was part of Roman Empire (but for relative short time), after the Romans conquered Dacia.
I like 👍 ! Thank you guys !
From Romania with love ❤️ !
I wish you all the best !!!!
Thanks, you too!
Send you love from Bucharest guys! You are the best!🥰🥰
I really liked the podcast and the energy & effort you put into it!😍 Better than some of us, Romanians!🙈
Lovely podcast. Love it!
I am a romanian that has been living in this country for all 18 years of my life, I have always considered my country as a shitty place to live and how everywhere else is better but watching you guys made me realize how good we have it here compared to western countries and how much I should enjoy my country and what it has to offer even if I believe corruption is turning this country into a steaming pile of shit we definitely could have it worse (German inflation)
In ziua de astazi e mai bine de 10 ori la noi acasa decat prin europa
Respect! Mult succes în continuare!
😁
I subbed. I support you supporting my country. Thank you so much! May the Lord bless you!
Thanks for subbing!
To everyone in here who got wildly aggravated by some historical and linguistic mistakes that were made..they are trying to do the right thing, kindly offer to shed some in depth light on the topics(they are looking for guests on their podcasts aren't they?!). There are many romanians that have their facts wrong so instead of attacking be supportive.
All in all, I believe that they are doing a great job and I appreciate their effort. Keep it up boys! ✌🏻❤️🇷🇴🐺🗻🦅
Good job guys!
thank you!
I liked the video. Of course there are some things that I don't agree..about the history, about Dracula ( Vlad Țepeș) and other things.. But all in all very nice.. Thank you for making a better image of this country. If you will be more curious about the history of this country, there are a set of documentary films in english called "History of Romania". There are many Romanians that don't know the actuall history of this country.. Also there are some artistic movies :"Vlad Țepeș " "Mihai Viteazul" that are very good to make a true opinion about this country. Thank you again
I think you might be referring to Cetatea Poienari as Vlad Țepeș's Castle. There are a lot of dark legends surrounding the castle. One of them is that Vlad Țepeș forced the aristocrats to build the castle on a cliff as a punishment for plotting against him. They worked until they fell to their deaths. This castle, for me, it seems more similar to the one described in the books, as it is isolated and situated high on a cliff. But it is mostly ruins now. Also, I have read Dracula and the count is definetly from Romania, or, more specific Transilvania. A lot of Romanian places are mentioned also: Cluj, Bistrița, Borgo Pass, etc. There are a lot of geographical details which indicates that the Irish author Bram Stoker has chosen Bran as the Dracula's castle. He was never in Romania, but did a lot of research to understand the geography and cultural context of this region.
Finally some justice. Thank you.
we have good internet because we were the last to get internet, so all infra is with new tech
if you are the first country to get internet....you get it early...while all infra equipment and cabeling is crap, very hard to change some of this stuff afterwards , this is what happend to Germany, we just build it from 0, later on, but with the tech that was the available
i think you can look this up also
Nice podcast. A good idea. Just a few short corrections : Romania is largely the ancient Dacia colonised by the romans. Then it was divided by 3 empires and reunited in 1859 and 1918. The gypsies were brought in the 18th century as slaves by the aristocracy.
Once again, congrats for the video.
Our internet is the best in europe ...serious is a statistic about this! 🥰
FELI - Ma striga mama.Nice song good vibe
Well that was an enjoyable video.
its interesting that your discuss education regarding the roma people sure its solution but goverments have tried over and over again to educate them but it have failed and failed and failed their culture is so different from native romanians in a big sense so its hard to integrate them this also just not a pattern thats common with roma people in romania but also many other european countries
Hello Andrei :)
yea we know it's a very hard and sad topic, we both have the same situation with other cultures in our home countries. The people who need to be integrated need to change them selfes and need to be motivated to make a change as well.
@@theromaniacshow Im well aware i have seen similiar things especially in sweden where i lived for 20yrs
A native romanian is someone who is born in romanian borders, so gipsy are native romanians. Gipsy are a romanian minority, you can not say they are not romanians.
I doubt we are the most religious country in Europe. Most people declare themselves Orthodox Christians but it's just the religion in which they were baptised. Most of them (at least those under 60) don't care much about religion. More deists than real theists but many simply just declare themselves as I said but don't have a real shaped belief.
I have two kids and i think it s a lot becose the live is hard and expensive ans we want them to grow good with every think they need ,so les is better. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
The reason why people say that Dracula is Romanian is because the action of the book takes place in Transylvania and England, and Bram Stoker was inspired to write the book after visiting Transylvania.
Tepes lived in Poenari castle. And in Romanian mythology or folklore there are creatures that are vampiric such as Moroii.
It's fake that Vlad Tepes was a vampire and that he lived at Bran, but it's true that in Romanian folklore we have creatures like the vampire and that the action of the Dracula book takes place in Romania. Also Romania is rich in folklore and superstitions and it's a good place to feed the imagination and get insired by.
28:15 3rd lowest salaries from the European Union members Countries . not from the whole countries in Europe /non European Union Members.
yes
😂 Yeah, I am in UK and miss the Romanian internet.
This video has got a lot of potential - shame that is without translation
Added, we can allways just add it after 1-2 days...
has to be processed. Thanks for reminding us bro
King Charles III is a descendant of Vlad
Tepes, that's why he likes Romania.
🤷🏾♂️😅
You are so funny😁

Guys, at least get your dates right. I like your vlogs, but your history "facts" are just pure fiction. Romania got its name after a couple of years of the Union in 1859 of the two principalities of Moldova and Tara Romaneasca (basically "Romanian country"). About the gypsies, aka Roma, or Romales, they were mainly bought on the Ottoman slave market and settled in the medieval principalities as slaves of the ruler or of the church, then also of wealthy boyars. What Ceaușescu did was to bring people from under-developed rural areas in Romania to industrial towns as labour force. He did not bring slaves (!!!), slavery was abolished in the 1800s. Also many Roma were still nomads, they were forcefully settled by the Communists. Just Google up some data before "dispelling" any miths!
Cetatea Poienari was Vlad Dracula's home castle!!!
Part on Romania was part of the Roman Empire from 106 to 274 (Emperor Trajan was the conqueror of Dacia and Aurelianus was the one who abandoned the north of Danube for an easier to defend border). Almost all of Valahia and part of Transilvania formed a Roman province. in that period.
And there is no Roman languages, all of them are Romance languages. Ours has more Slavic and Turkish (and other), that's what gives it the specific.
Becose in that story of that irish guy is the picture off Bran Castlle , the Bran castlle was what he inspired him to whrite the story etc
Because*

Regarding the children per family discussion I disagree, maybe in big cities like Bucharest there is just one child in the family but in the more rural areas there are many families with even 10 children. This is a really interesting topic to research on
Yea you might be right. We mostly just see bucharest. Great that the families have so manny childreen then :)
zora you are talking nonsense, nobody has 10 kids in the rural areas nowadays, except for the pentecostals and gypsies.
There are not many families with many children in Romania. There are extremely few cases of families with 10 children and only very few with more than 2 or 3 children.
@@florindragoescu2549 exactly what I was telling zora, only the pentecostals and gypsies have many kids in Romania nowadays.
@@Zdamaneta Just to clarify, there is no connections between pentecostals and gypsies, pentecostals have many kids because of their beliefs, while gypsies usually have them because of lack of sexual education or to support them in some ways (like government helping).
in addition to the brown color, green eyes are also the majority in Romania, more so in the west of the country.
yes we agree!
@@theromaniacshow i think the best way of describing us(although you can find us in all shapes and colors😅) is fair skin, dark hair and hazel eyes.
ceausescu did not import people from india to work in factories. they migrated here long before. they wore used as slaves, but we had white romanian slaves as late as the early 20th century so... anyway, nice podcast. and roma are not mainly catholic. they are catholic in certain places where the comunities are catholic, mainly in transilvania. the rest are orthodox.
Russia could not have imposed anything like language, as it was not part of the URSS
yes, very true
We are Latins! Same Language, Same Religion, Same roots!

Sorry to disappoint, but Bram inspired all his story from a legend in Romania and a few countries around, like north Bulgaria and north-east Serbia, so only in this quite large region they undug graves of people dead in the medieval times and found them with wooden sticks inbetween their ribs, so the vampire legend originates there. So Bram S didnt just inspire his Dracula from Vlad the Impaler, but also the vampire story. And also the obsession rou people has with garlic, so Romania really is the country or the area where the vampires are coming from, even if just as a local belief or myth😉😉😄
Dacia was part of Roman Empire at some time*. Romans just left the provence
Okay. But how was that empire then called in that time since "Romania" was found 100 years ago?
@@theromaniacshow The empire was named Roman Empire. they had 2 wars with what we call Dacia and in the end they won and made it their provence for more than 100 years but because it was right in the path of nomad tribes, the RE retreated in what is named Aurelian retreat of Roman Dacia in 275 AD. then first ever union between Wallachia, Transylvania and Moldova happend in 1600, lasted a single year. But Romania was not founded a 100 years ago for sure. In 1862 Wallachia and Moldova formed a personal union also known as United Principalities while still being vassals of Ottoman Empire. In 1878 it gets independent from OE, and in 1881 it became a monarchy with Carol the First being the King of Romania. In 1918 Transylvania, Bessarebia and Bukovina united with the rest of Romanian Kingdom but that s for sure not when Romania was founded lol. Heck on the same principle I can say Germany was not even founded more than 50y ago, cuz East Germany united back with West Germany only in 1989.
Thanks for your podcast. You guys are doing a great job to promote Romania.
With Dracula - this has become a thing mostly post communist era, rather than during the communism. I grew up as a child during the communism and I never heard of Dracula. I've been visiting Bran castle as a child almost every year during summer camps and the Castle looked a lot better and had more things around than it has right now, but it was always 'Bran Castle' and nothing related to Dracula could be found in Bran (the little town in Brasov county where the castle is located)
Many thx again for all the effort you're putting in promoting Romania.
Romania was formed in 1859( first Union), then the Greater Romania was formed in 1918...
Just a couple of things...
Romania wasn t united in 1912,but in 1918. Well, to be more exact, in 1859 Țara românească and Moldova were united (forming the "little Romania") and then, in 1918, three more regions were united with it, the last one being Transilvania. So in 1918 the "great Romania" was formed.
Secondly, yes, families from cities only have one or two children, but this was not the case during communism! In fact, Ceaușescu made abortions illegal and gave aid to families with many children. I do not know for sure why families only have one or two children nowadays (perhaps as a response to the communism times?), but this certainly wasn t the case during communism.
Thirdly, Romania actually was part of the Roman Empire for a while. So.... At first there was Dacia (this also has a compicated history, too long to be written in a UA-cam comment), which lost around year 106 the war with the Roman Empire and became part of it until around 270, when the "Aurelian retreat" took place. This is the reason why romaians have both dacic and romanic descent, but more romanic, because after 106, the roman culture,language and blood overtook their dacic counterparts.

Înţelepciune şi tradiţie: Mărturii despre daci
Love you two, but ALL your history facts are off. Dacia was conquered by the Romans. So a part of present day Romania was part of the Roman Empire. What it bordered for hundreds of years was the Eastern Roman Empire, aka Byzantium. Also Russia had invaded our land for 13 times over the last 200 years, not just once. Ever walked on Kiseleff Boulevard? Check him up. Don't take me wrongly, I am a big fan of yours, but you took your historical data from various people remembering maybe 20% of what they learned in school and making a mish mash of it. Anyway, I really appreciate what you do and wish you luck!
Daca vreti sa aflati mai mult despre limba si literatura romana citi herodot dar legat despre daci,geti,traci si geto daci tot ce inseamna DACIA dar nu marefer la automobilul dacia, daci si acolo aflati adevarata o origine a limbi noastre, si inca ceva nu mai vorbiti de rau desore Nicolaie Ceausescu pe vremea lui nu exista someri daca nu iti gaseai de munca te ajuta sa iti gasesti, si inca ceva Scolile de meserii aveau atunci contracte de practica cu tot ce inseamna industrie .
We r Mostly ORTHODOX( new and old ryt- this more like russians and here we have ukrainians, serbs)..But we have Catholic, Calvin, Lutheran, Baptists, Muslim, Hebrew, punjaby and hindu( due 2 people from Nepal, India,Nepal, Sri Lanka)...
Like much ur podcasts..💯🤍🌟.but u must study more about history...
Unfortunately or not Romania doesn't have the exposure that for example the other latin countries have.as an example there are not to many cultures roaming around so there are less conflicts. Romania is still a safe country to live compared to many countries in Europe but I will take into account that a thief you will rather go where the honey flow.Romania has a lot of problem with the educational system and the future looks grim in this regard but it seems this is a problem with most of the countries nowadays. The poor families tend to withdraw their kids from school so many will end up doing bad things.The less educated and the poor parts of society started to inherit gypsy cultural "values" because they see in them as thriving by making "easy money".Search for the most valuable UA-cam channels in Romania and you will see a lot of gypsy related stuff( mainly manele singers).
You guys are amazing, but please do some research before talking about the history of another country because you got wrong sooooo many things here.
...educating the Roma people???... Do you think you just came up with this idea and Romanian people/authorities didn't think about this until now?! This educating thing is going since the time of the comunism and it has been applied with special opportunities for them in the romanian schools, highschools and universities, with the purpose of including and stimulating them to learn... I think you should look more into this topic. And after all that time, these are the results! Why? Because they resist education, they refuse to adapt to civilisation and modern menthality, and again, I'm talking about some of them, not all.
About the Romanian racism against the Roma people, I would say it is something more like: we know who we are dealing with, what to expect from some of the Roma people (NOT all of them), than racism. Romanians don't think them as inferior people and they don't wish them any harm, we are just aprehensive about their bad behaviour, which we know it can happen, not always, not from all of them, but we have to be ready / guarded. If this attitude is racism, then I don't know what racism is! I'm half Roma, but I was raised as romanian, I have Roma relatives, roma colleagues in school, Roma people friends, but I was burnt by some Roma people in a few ocasions, which confirmed the prejudices against them. There are Roma people and Roma people, like in every ethnic group, some are good some are bad. Unfortunately, the frequency with which we face the bad ones, determines the prejudice attitude.
Sorry, I have allergy to the word "racism" it is too abused and missused lately, the same as "depression"!
I am so grateful you posted your opinion as being half rroma...I have family friends that are rroma and they are amazing people... And that is why I also emphasize on the fact that we should not throw everyone in the same bucket. Many of them are great talents and it's good to be proud of your culture as long as you do not cause harm around you.
Roma catholic😁
Actually Romanian is the oldest one out of the Latin languages but they discovered that actually Italian and Spanish are actually Romanian languages. You can search the video about it on UA-cam. We have in the language the old Dacian language just added some influence from Latin and Russian and Greek also Turkish, also old Albanian there are many words similar with their languages.
the development of the Romanian language has definitely been influenced by its neighbors or occupying forces, but the Italian, Spanish or other Latin languages being descendants of Romanian or it being the oldest is at best a myth, or one of the narratives likely used by nationalistic movements or individuals that can claim anything without any proof whatsoever, aiming to boost the sentiment of pride, which can be then exploited to gain political capital and influence over ignorant people.
in the communist era abortion was illegal and woman were receiving prizes from the commies for having multiple kids, my father has 9 brothers, it is not uncommon for people the age of my father to have over 5 kids .
young RO don-t have kids anymore because of other reasons, i will let you find out why :D
i-m 30 yo born and raised Ro :D
welcome to RO, good job with the podcasts , only mention i have is if u get something wrong , and find out later, do go back and change it, because if not you propagate a false narrative, and i clearly see it is not your intention ! i also understand this is a lot of work (to change every wrong fact, but as a RO i expect hard work ^^ sry, i was mean :P )
You are doing AMAZING !!
Romania was not found in 1912, Romania was united in 1918, had 3 major provinces, like Germany and Italy was separated in provinces, so common in Europe. Also the origins of Romania that are the Dacia and Roman Empire , Dacians were Arian rase, and over time with occupation from the west and east we are mixed with Indo-European, Slavic etc so every developed country has low birth rate. Has nothing to do with communism, because in communism abortion was illegal. Also in Romania you have 97% Greek Orthodox. Over 90% of the population owns an apartment, a house, some with money from the bank, but they own.

Actually in communism abortion was illegal, Romania had the highest natality numbers and population, and they had money to fend for children, that is why now we have one child households, while our parents generation has 2-3 siblings and older generations had a higher number like 5 or more.
In communism everyone was provided with a house and a job, and people were payed well, but people were not allowed to travel al the time and they did not have a lot of things to spend money on, since there was no import and there were only a few products. Romania even managed to be the first and only country to pay it's debt and wanted to be completely self-sufficient.
Etnia Roma nu are o religie majoritara! De obicei preiau religia locului unde se așează... De exemplu în Turcia sunt musulmani, în Italia sunt catolici, în Grecia ortodoxia..
I am still confuzed about this racism agains gypsies... because I don't think it's accurate at all :)))
So when I moved to the UK there were people asking me about gypsies and racism, and from my experience it's more like a conflict than recism.
So there are 2 types of gypsies or Roma in Romania, one is the type that does refuse to respect the law and to addapt or integrate, and for the longest time the guvernment did not force them to do anything. So what ended happening was that they would be nomads, creating makeshift "houses" out of cardboard, begging for money, refusing to lear romanian, having their own laws, traditions but also stealing, intimidating and doing some illegal things, similar to the life style presented in "slumdog millionaire" movie. I can;t say how many times I saw children missing a limb or burned put out in the street to beg. So friction started between people, thye were harrased on the streets, Romanians are against stis specific part of their culture. Since they refuse education comunication is not an option. In my town recently the gypsies that were living illegalyin makeshift places, were given new apartment buildings fully furnished for free, and they were moved there, only for the place to turn into a "slum" like place. They broke windows, dirtied the place and so on. People driving by complained that there were children snifing glue jumping in front of cars, so the council built fances around the building to stop them from jumping in the streat, but the foreing countries said the town is racist... they interpret everything negatively without knowing the events.
On the other hand there are gypsies that are craftsman, have clans, their own schoold, languge work and get along with Romanians. Even in the past they had specific jobs that they were doing and Romanians knew they were the best, and they get along with everyone and there is no racism.
So the problem when there is hostility towards gypsies, is more towards a specific atitude, or event/experience with the gypsies that beg and harras people on the street, and not with people that are gypsies because they are gypsies.
Romanian slavic influence is not from russians, is far, far back when christianity was bring in Romania area like in 2-3 AD century by proto-bulgars, the church language was in slavonic... afcourse most influence it was naturaly by slavic migration. Romania got a language pack update in 18 century when education become a standard and we got a language facelift from france language and italian language and become a modern romanian language. Ps. The Neacsu letter from 1521 if you hear it you will still understand it today in proportion of 90% you will not understand the slavonic words from it.
😂😂😂 guys, I don't know where you get the historical data from, but they are wrong, the history of the Balkans is complex because it was written by the victors, and unfortunately many things were not real, otherwise they are very funny.😊😊
Hey Guys --- I really have to commend you on this video and for your good intentions to present Romania in a better light to foreign audiences. However, your video has some innacuracies that I would like to address: 1. Romania is one be the poorest country in the EU, but not from Europe. Statistically there are 16 other coutries poorer than us in Europe (GDP per capita PPP) Worldwide we are still in the first quarter of most develloped nations in the world.
2. Roma people are first documented in the teritories that are now knows as Romania since 1385. They were sold as slaves to Moldavian monasteries. They have lived in these lands for at least 600-700 years so they are not new 2nd or 3rd generation mmigrants to the country. 3. Roma people hail from N-W india --- that is true - and they were driven westward by a series of Mongol and Mughal invasions. They went from N-W India - to Pakistan, Iran, West Asia, Turkey, Balcans and then after to Romanian Principalities (Moldova and Wallachia and the rest of Europe) 4. Ceausescu did not bring any factory workers from India - he just forced Roma people to work in factories and settle down . Before communism there were Roma communities either semi-nomadic or living im "mahalale" (shanty towns) and communism put a stop to that style of living. 5. Romania first formed in 1859 with the union of Wallachia (southern principality) and Moldova (Easterm principality). People from both countries spoke the same language. In 1918 (not 1912) after WW1, the majority of people from Transylvania (Romanians represented 65%) voted to join Romania and the International Community encouraged by Woodrow Wilson's principles of peoples right to self determination recognized it. Post WW1 big empires crashed (Ottomam, Austro-Hungarian, Tsarist) and many small countries based on ethmocratic principle took their place - Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, the Baltic states etc..... 6. The teritory that is now in Romania was part of the Roman empire from 106 to 271 AD. Back in the day that Roman province was called Dacia - hence the car manufacturer's name. Romanian history states that the original Romanians were a mix of Dacian indigenous people plus Roman colonists and through the centuries we got some other populations in the genetic mix - particularly Slavs and Cumans.Regardless of this origin being im part myth, we are still a Latin speaking population in Eastern Europe.
Ceausescu is the last Dictator of Romania, like 1965-1989, at that time all romanians were slaves of comunism party. Gipsies slavery end in 18 century. Gipsy religion is adventist and penticostali
Guys, I like you, but stop trying to explain romanian history, cause that was a lot of bullshit! Unless you really start studying it thoroughly, just stop!
The funniest part was when they said that Ceusescu brought gypsies in Romania to work in factories... 😂
Gentleman..first of all, Țiganii /Gypsy ,the word " Roma people" it's invented, after coup d'etat in '89. I don't know who told you the gypsys are the most Catholics!!!. wrong information, they are divided between Orthodox and Protestant, just a small minority are Catholics and Muslims Gypsy are Turkish, Tatars, Kurdish etc..
A big part of romanian history was made up like that, espescially about the transylvanian region. Romania in this form is 100 years old. Before that transylvania took part of hungary for around 1000 years except around 150 years while it was under turkish influence. Actually it was a very multicultural place with lots of different minorities. The carpatians were kind of natural borders in those times between west and east. Very close to the most western end of the silk road trading route until 1450s, when the ottoman empire closed off trade with the west. It's good to know and mention..despite haters gonna ignore that, and tell that its not true or start start complaining about who was here first and who not.
There are so many wrong infos which you say about Romania! Romas were not brought by the Ceausescu! Romania was not ”formed” in 1912! Romania was not a soviet republic, and many more. You should check the facts, before came with those fake infos!
Very interesting statistics but overall, not a good research. You guys really need to do your homework before a podcast. Plzzz..
nu o loati in nume de rau numai ascultati la fetitele din Ue
Ceausescu brought ZERO gypsies to Romania.They were here before Ceausescu. Mostly the ottoman armies invading brought them as auxiliary.
Sorry but u have linguistically 0 clue about how languages work and evolve, do your research before opening such complex topic.
But good work, you are lovely and adorable watching! Take care!
Because we don't take nothing from Rome or other latin Country's 😏 the language belong to us before Rome empire just make more research before you speak about history 😉
Latin came from Romanian? 🤡
Hai ca furi curent. O fi Dacii viteji cum erau, dar au fost cuceriți de imperiul Roman, Hence Romania.
Funny fact, guys.. Ceaușescu was a lot of stuff, but not a Russian suck up. He loved the power communism provided him, but actually hated the Russians. He was closer to North Coreea 😂
When Czechoslovakia was invaded, in '68, he was the only communist leader that condemned that publicly and refused to take part in it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceau%C8%99escu%27s_speech_of_21_August_1968
Russian was taught in schools here but not imposed.
He also banned abortion and contraception, which led to Romanian women having A LOT of kids. During the '90, inflation in our area reached up to 300% and guess what? Families had to face that AND grow all the kids they had before the fall of communism. Those were very tough times, so as a result, people nowadays prefer to have less kids.
