Independent of what others say, I find it interesting what the Roma themselfes say. I asked in a Serbian Roma group. Because it could be possible that Roma do not even self-identify as Europeans. Right? It is a interesting question whether Roma are Europeans or not.

Good morning. Are Roma Europeans or not? Many Racists from all over Europe claim that Roma are not European. From a Genetic point of view "Roma Origin" is 80 or 85% Westerneurasian and maybe 15% Aborginal Ancestral Southindian. On genetic tests, people who are 100% Roma are 60% from some European countries like Greece, Cyprus and so on and 40% from somewhere in modern South Asia like India, and so on, and the Middle East like Iran, Anatolia and so on. Ancestry.com grouped the Roma into Europe, when you look at the map, the Roma are marked in the Balkans and Central Eastern Europe, and even the Roma DNA component itself was called "Eastern European Roma".
Do we Roma understand ourselves as Europeans? I think I'm European, what do the rest of you think?
