Gypsy now preferred name Romany...often persecuted ...aka Travellers...I remember when JP II hosted a special mass for Romany at St Peter's in Rome....But Romany are Caucasian., more or less..Since it's high school you could go with Non-traditional casting. but the NON trad would be, Asian, black etc...........Also(forgive for being too lazy to look it up)What does WOKE mean, It's obviously using a grammatically incorrect tense for a particular New meaning. In the Chas Laughton film, Esmeralda was the beautiful and very Caucasian and Very Irish actress Maureen O'Hara.
