I think saying “their culture” is way too generalizing. The problem is that they had their traditional way of living, and ever since the 1700s the governments all over central Europe have gone out of their way to destroy that. Treating Romani, Sinti and other “traveler” groups very much like how natives were treated in the Americas - their children taken away, families broken apart, languages forbidden etc. That has created a broken community/society. What laypeople might consider “their culture” is not their traditional culture at all, it is a result of their original culture having been destroyed by modern societies.
Obviously the status quo is a huge problem and the main factor in that are Romani people themselves. But I’d argue that it is really hard as a kid growing up to figure out a way that works in between problematic adults in your community, actual racism, reaching a good point in the main society and still not losing your roots.

I like Zelma. Seriously, they’re introducing some great characters here. Her mother magically shushing her though 💀
What I like about this show is that it really seems grounded in the MCU as a fictional universe. It’s not throwing completely new stuff at us, instead relying on tech, magic, locations and connected characters that we already know. Some other Marvel movies and shows have struggled with that aspect - mainly handling it like they’re in our universe and then dropping some shoutouts to the Avengers here and there.
That ending of the episode seemed like they chopped up some originally longer sequence.
