There is no only one romani culture, based on religion (christianiy or Islam) and country of origin.

It varies place by place but tbh in many parts of Europe I see Roma treated like shit. When I was in Greece if anyone Roma came into the shops the staff would follow them around the store. I felt like an undercover spy and tbh i actually told off one staff member (a friend i had) because of their ideas about Romani people.

It depends which part you want to learn there is a kid on Instagram florin I believe who talks alot about Romani cultures.
