How can slavery be called integration? Having Roma slaves was a thing much longer after 15th century.

The fact that Romani people successfully integrated in US might indicate that there exists a bigger cultural divide in Europe.

Slaves of Bulgarians or slaves of the Ottomans? Because Bulgarians were Ottoman slaves, too! In fact, gypsies came to Bulgaria through the Ottoman Empire. And I cannot talk about Western Europe and how it treated gypsies as I've never studies it; I can only talk about Bulgaria and we never had slavery, so, can we quite extending Western guilts to Bulgaria?
