Rašid Nikolić
Rašid Nikolić is a 1989-born Romani puppeteer from Turin, Italy, originally from Bosnia. He has become a vocal advocate for the Romani community, particularly in response to harmful stereotypes perpetuated in popular culture. Recently, he called out singer Lucio Corsi for lyrics in his song 'Altalena Boys' that reference Romani people in a derogatory manner, specifically the unfounded accusation of child theft. Nikolić argues that such stereotypes contribute to discrimination and violence against Romani people and has urged Corsi to revise or withdraw the song to promote cultural respect and inclusion.
