Their travelling culture

They don’t stay in a place ⑷forever/permanently, and always moved to another place by carriage in the past, but now by truck or coach. They don’t like to have any ⑸nationalities of the countries they move to. They have rich and diverse culture, so they have ⑹appeared in many stores, books and films.

Their rights They were ⑺looked down upon because of their different, strange traditions, their worn and shabby clothes and their darker skin. They were ⑻regarded/considered/seen as thieves, even pests. Many nations took action against them, like banning them from entering.
