AHC: Romani People Better Position Post Cold War

The Romani people have been despised by Europeans for a variety of reasons. They also have suffered institutional racism, persecution and poverty for as long as they existed in Europe. How can this trend be reversed so that Romani people can be better off socioeconomically in society as well as not be subjected to the negative stereotypes they suffer?

It would certainly help, think if people knew more, and knew earlier, about the fact that at least 1-1.5 million of them, maybe more, were also killed in the Holocaust(I believe the official term for the genocide of the Romani is Porajmos, IIRC.) along with the Jewish people, and others(including several hundred thousand Czechs).

Other than that.....I'll try to come back to you on that.
 
The Holocaust should be averted or end earlier. The Romani were proportionately the most devastated people by that genocide. Unlike with the Jews, where enough were left alive that remaining elites were able to capitalize on sympathy to build support for a Zionist state (it helps that the anti-Zionist Jews were either more likely to be dead or more likely to change their minds after the Shoah—the entire continent had become a mass Jewish grave), the Romani elite were almost totally killed in the Porajmos, leaving a community in shambles and vulnerable to continued marginalization. It was the most successful genocide of fascist Europe—large portions of Romani culture, which has a heavy oral tradition, have been fundamentally lost forever and Europeans don't know jack shit about it.
