    I don’t think I can identify a Romani phenotype. Which just goes to show how little representation they get on mass media.

      I thought they were just slavicish. I know Romanian is different but the archetypical gypsy in my mind is a black haired slavic woman.

        From what I read, there’s a North Indian ethnic component, especially their language. But that’s what I remember from reading Wikipedia years ago, so 🤷‍♂️
