where u get that from hey? my mams roma and we're all very aware of our roots but we have our own culture and ways, just coz we dont walk around like them lot in spain looking all very 'gypsy' dont mean we're not proud of what we are. yeah i am roma and i wear guess jeans and dont live in a trailer like loads of other romanichals, how does that mean we've lost our connection to what we are??? my uncles and aunts and my grandad can speak rumness

Even English Gypsies were originally from India.

Its weird how no evidence of this has remainded in the UK with some Gypsies even denying a black connection. where as in Romania Spain and the rest of Europe the gypsies are proud of there Indian heritage and they are evidentally more Asian looking with different shades of skin tone ranging from white to dark brown. They also speak Roma which is such a mish mash of European languages mixed with old Indian. what happened to Uk Gypsies? im curious?
