Yes. They tend to look like they came from India several centuries ago. Tom Send a noteboard - 27/06/2010 03:13:08 PM
Which is exactly what happened.

Given that they have NOT assimilated into the nations that host them for so long, when they show the "poor gypsy houses" in the Czech Republic the question is: "well, are they living in squalor by choice or due to discrimination?"
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
