@rasterman @11112011 @ArdanianRight @Loki @LukeAlmighty @fluffy @okabe_rintarou @plutographer Those are Gypsies, not Romanians. Same as when murderous Somalians are called "Swedish". Come on man, you really trust the EU media to report this stuff honestly?

@ChristiJunior @plutographer @11112011 @ArdanianRight @fluffy @rasterman @LukeAlmighty @Loki @okabe_rintarou

There is such a thing as Romany Gypsies, Anton LaVey was descended from such, he claimed as I recall. Maybe it's a translation error?

@Maggotaur @plutographer @11112011 @ArdanianRight @fluffy @rasterman @LukeAlmighty @Loki @okabe_rintarou Roma, Romani etc are just PC terms for Gypsy. Most Romanians aren't Gypsies, and most Gypsies aren't Romanian. That dumb name just creates a lot of confusion, which might have been the intention all along (Gypsies abroad usually flaunt their nationality, not their ethnicity).

@ChristiJunior @plutographer @11112011 @ArdanianRight @fluffy @rasterman @LukeAlmighty @Loki @okabe_rintarou

Yeh, I'd have assumed Romany, Roma etc Gypsies were people left by the Romans when the Roman empire shrank or whatever, they became Gypsies but still had heritage from the Romans, maybe cutlery or identification. Either that or a rewording of the word now used 'roaming'.
