My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding
My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding is an American reality television series that debuted on the TLC in April 2012. It claims to revolve around the marriage customs of Romani-Americans ("Gypsies") – allegedly members of Romanichal clans, although some are actually of Irish Traveller descent. It is a spin-off of Britain's Channel 4 series Big Fat Gypsy Weddings. It was announced in June 2012 that the series had been renewed for a second season, which debuted March 24, 2013. Season 4 premiered April 4, 2014 and Season 5 in February 2015. My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding has led to a spinoff series: Gypsy Sisters (2013). Controversies 
Both the British original and the American version of the series have faced a number of controversies, including allegations of racism in its advertising  and causing racially motivated bullying. The Romani Gypsy community has criticized the series for misrepresenting the ethnic minority with non-Romani characters posing as “Gypsy”, and Billy Welch – a spokesman for Romani Gypsies – stated: 
The American version of the series has faced controversy and criticism from Romani-Americans, and from journalists and activists concerned with minority rights, claiming that the series is “wildly misleading,” cultivating racist stereotypes, and misrepresenting the American Romani community.
