@Tadg_macNuadat No, Romanians are a mixture of several groups from antiquity, while gypsies came to Europe from India somewhere between 10th-12th century. It's just that Romania has a decently large gypsy minority plus there's definitely some mixing.

@matrix @Tadg_macNuadat the name "Roma" is pretty unfortunate and leads to confusion. as a kid, I also thought all Romanians are gypsies. half of them would probably beat you up for saying that

@pomstan @grips @Tadg_macNuadat I just explained how. Romanians are south east Europeans. Gypsies are old jeets.
