Gypsiemese
Gypsiemese (noun or adjective) – The action or behavior of a person who caricaturally, exaggeratedly, and derogatorily imitates traits, accent, gestures, clothing, or customs stereotypically attributed to people of Romani ethnicity, with the intent to ridicule or humiliate them based on racist prejudices. The term combines “gypsy” (a term often considered pejorative for Romani people) with the suffix “-mimese” (from “mimicry” – imitation), emphasizing the racist nature of the imitation.
In a discussion about online racism:

In an article about stereotypes:
“Gypsiemese is an insidious form of racism hidden under the guise of humor, which perpetuates the negative image of the Romani community in society.”
In a conversation between friends:
“Stop doing gypsiemese, it’s not funny at all – it’s offensive and racist to imitate people like that just to laugh at them
