The Roma and Sinti people were considered asocial and tagged with the black triangle.^[1][3] The designation also included alcoholics, beggars, homeless people, nomads, prostitutes, and violators of laws prohibiting sexual relations between Aryans and Jews.^[1][2] Women also deemed to be anti-social included nonconformists.^[2][4]
