Quoting elenagabriela

but..I wonder..it is possible only in Romania? I am so curious if there are similar cases in other countries where turkish minority exist. Have you ever heared about that...

best regards

 

Yes also in Bulgaria there are muslim Romans and they prefer to be called "Turks" not Gypsies or Romans.

 

Here´s some text about them in Turkish if you can read.

 

Bulgaristan’daki “Türk Romanları’nın” durumu gerçekten de içler acısı.

Getto’larda yaşamak zorunda bırakılan Romanlar, komünist rejimdeki kadar olmasa bile ( komünist rejimde Roman kadınları zorla kısırlaştırılıyormuş diyorlar) yine hala sefalet içinde bir yaşama mahkûmlar ve yine hala bir takım baskı, hor görülme ve aşağılanmaya maruz kalıyorlar. Onların yaşadıkları mahalleler, “Türk Mahallesi” adıyla anılıyorlar. Ve oradaki Romanlar, belki de bizden fazla “Türklükleri ile gurur duyuyorlar”… Kendilerine, Roman ya da Çingene değil de “Türk” denilmesini istiyorlar. Geleneklerini, göreneklerini yaşatabilmek adına ellerinden geleni yapıyor, Türkçemize sahip çıkıyorlar. Tabi ki bunlar, Müslüman Romanlar. Bir de Hıristiyan olanlar var. Onların da hiçbir zaman 1. sınıf vatandaş olarak kabul görmediklerini unutmamak gerek. Balkanlardaki en ağır hakaretlerden biri de “Çingene” demek. Romanların kendilerine özgü bir dilleri olmasına rağmen, tarih boyunca hep hangi ülkede yaşamışlarsa o ülkenin resmi dili ile iletişim kumuşlar ve eğitim görmüşlerdir. Fakat öz kültürlerinden asla kopmamışlar, ne dilleri ne de gelenekleri asla yok olmamıştır.

Quoting Daydreamer

Sorry for the digression but I couldn´t resist:

 

Romania is such a lovely country, greatly underestimated by many people. Oh the beautiful beaches of Constanta. And the breathtaking views along the Transylvanian Motorway...If only I could understand the basic words, count endless zeroes on the banknotes and find logic in the fact that "mixed salad" means getting your veggies separately lol

 

 thank you for your nice words about my country{#emotions_dlg.flowers}

Quoting Elisabeth

I hope my family didn´t think I was serious about every boy I introduced them too!  I had a lot of guy friends that I was never romantically interested in....but then again, I am one of those crazy, non-traditional, rebelious, bed Americans!!  {#emotions_dlg.lol_fast} 

 

Generally, if I was serious about someone, I would tell my family that I am serious about this person...SO PLEASE ME NICE!!

 

But then, I eloped with my husband!  VERY non-traditional!

 

Same here.  I introduced my parents to lots of guys, it´s not out of the ordinary to have boys as friends or even date someone for a few months.  Sorry Lis you are Traditional!{#emotions_dlg.bigsmile}

 As far as I know bed Americans the reason is

1.You don´t shave

2.You are not democratic puritan  and conservative enough

3.I bet you don´t even know Star  Sparkle Banner by heart

4.You don´t believe in egalitarism and women emancipation

5.You complain too much instead of saying"All is ok,I am fine"

6.You don´t watch Al Bundy and Bill Cosby show not to mention Oprah Winfrey ones

7.road 66 is still a mystery for you

etc,etc

Anyway,just abandon this American "from rags American to richness dream"{#emotions_dlg.bigsmile}No chance)

Young unmarried ladies beware !

 

Technically speaking - for all guys, other than those with Turkish origins - the introduction process should involve an introduction of the guys to the parents, and not as described above.
