Historically speaking why did Gypsies in britain intermingle with the British population and become white while in continental europe the two never mixed?Romanichal gypsies are all blond, blue eyed, white british looking people who will unironically fly roma flags and LARP as roma. gypsy language is common in the british lower classes with terms like cushty, mush, chavvy and wonga being used by the working classes of britain.Meanwhile continental europeans never mix with gypsies and haven't adopted a single word from their language.
This is a British Romanichal man who calls himself a roma and flies the roma flag.Romanichal are 99% anglo
>>18451649this is another british roma gypsy influencer.why did gypsies in britain become white?
>>18451648They mostly mixed with pikeys, i.e. white gypsies.
>>18451653They didn'tPikeys (Travellers) are Irish and all have irish surnames while Romanichal have English surnamesthe most common Romanichal surnames are quintiessentially anglo ones like Boswell, Smith, Cooper, Lee, Harrison, etc
>>18451648I believe you're confused. Irish travellers are 100% European.Gypsies are another ethnicity entirely, but they've been around long enough to be pretty much everywhere in Europe, so there's probably some gypsies in England too.
>>18451670What's with American retards pretending they know anything about gypsies?British Romanichal Gypsies and Irish travellers are different communities. They are not the same. They intermix sometimes but they are not the same people you autistic retard.
>>18451648They mixed with Irish ones who also migrated to the Norf
>>18451648>haven't adopted a single word from their language.wrong plus British "gypsies" are most likely another nomadic ethnic or whatever, not actually Roma
>>18451735>>18451737Wrong you spastic.
>>18451648they didnt intermingle with the birtish population, they are literally brits that decided to live a nomadic lifestyle, they're just not roma gypsies to begin with
>>18451649>>18451652How much south asian dna do they have?
>>18451648Gypsies very rarely if ever intermingle with the communities that they are itinerant members of. It's actually kind of ironic that the UK has a notable population of evidently mixed Roma, I wonder if any study has been done on their genetic content.
>>18453492they have 1% south asian dna and 99% anglo dnathey all just look like lower class white brits. a few look swarthy but that's usually due to natural swarthiness in some northern euros along with the fact that a lot, especially the women love dying their hair black picrel is another british romany gypsy. looks nothing like actual roma
>>18451656It's possible that there was another semi-nomadic population in Britain with similar lifestyle to the (later) Irish Travellers that absorbed the Gypsies. From the case of Irish Travellers we know that "Gypsy" is not an ethnonym, but it's possible that Romanichal have adopted it as such, even though it's very small percentage of their ancestry.
>>18453759Britain always differed from continental Europe in that instead of a peasantry that stayed fixed to the land like in France or Germany there was always a semi nomadic population of farm labourers. Most things we associate with Gypsies and Travellers like bare knuckle boxing originate among the native English lower classes. It's the same with things like hare coursing, poaching, horse racing- they're former staples of the british rural working classes that only survive to this day with Gypsies and Travellers.
>>18451648I dunno Ronnie Wood is Roma and definitely looks the part.
>>18453847Bargees aren't gypsies. they were called water gypsies as slang but they were just working class cockneys who worked on the river.
