Yes we are turning into circles, i dont deny im of indian descent but you say im "indian intermixed with other ethnicities" i could say im european mixed with indian, that would be more correct, since both my haplogroups are european, and my genome is 80% european or around that percent but much more then half, and only 10-20% indian, i also have middle eastern DNA like turkish, iranian, levantine etc. But Im not simply a mix of indian and european or european and indian, that is too simplicistic to describe the roma, that could be a half pakistani half english person too but would be very different then a typical roma or me. I dont go around telling people Im just as Bavarian as you, though or just as White as you. I think Roma need to be more present and visible, I know even if the government decides to place the roma as white, or as asian or whatever they still would be seen as roma, or as different though. I know that, but I guess we need still a lable and a category for them. In the UK Roma are under the White category but as "roma" there are three roma ethnicites all under the white category, gypsy(romanichal), roma and irish traveller, those are 3 seperate ethnicites all under the white category. Then there is white britsh/irish and white other like german or polish. I also do not understand why you need to be central european or german or bavarian to be white what if you are swedish or northern european?
