Romani are heavily discriminated against and have been for centuries. They barely qualify as white to most "white" people in Europe. And they were killed by the millions during the Holocaust.

True, Romani bigotry is largely a European thing, but it's still weird Disney/Marvel hired a non-Romani to portray a famously Romani character like Doom.

Sorta famously Romani...

I'm not a comic book guy, just like the vast majority of MCU watchers. I am a nerd and do a lot of comic book adjacent stuff (TTRPGs and such), and have a lot of comic book reading friends. I'm pushing 50.

It wasn't until RDJ was cast as Dr. Doom that I heard the character was of Romani origin. I certainly knew of him, and that he was an eastern European dictator, but his heritage never came up. Famous character, relatively minor detail.

AYRT

It's a small detail to—and I mean no disrespect—normies. Which you (I mean a general 'you') likely are if you don't know that vital background info about Dr. Doom.

Doom's pride in his family and tribe is one of his few redeeming qualities, IMO, along with his drive to rescue his explicitly Romani mother's soul from hell.
