[quote=Anonymous]17:57, that's me. In my particular case, my Romani great-grandfather considered himself to be from Romania (though if you want to get technical, he was actually from Hungary). Go read my first post; I specified that I have Roma and Jewish heritage (not on the same side for me, incidentally; just gave me a similar perspective on both those terms). I use Roma and Romani to refer to the same people, and neither is interchangeable with Romanian. I think that's a pretty common and well understood distinction. Maybe not so clear to Americans as to Europeans, though. Some Romani (but certainly not all) are Romanian. Some Romani are [Irish, Spanish, Turkish, French, Canadian, etc.] depending on where they live. Europe used to have some countries that banned citizenship for Romani, but fortunately the creation of the EU has addressed that, for the most part. [/quote]
