Answer:

Gypsies, also known politically as Romani, Romany, or Roma, are members of an ethnic group that is considered to have originated in the Indian subcontinent and today lives throughout Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and the Americas.

                They experienced extreme persecution and discrimination when they traveled, which culminated during the Holocaust and continues to this day. They are sometimes portrayed as dishonest people who primarily work as fortune tellers, although they have a distinct culture that is generally described as colorful, with important contributions to music. Although many now have fixed residences, they have historically been nomadic.

  • Romani had a dark complexion in comparison to the inhabitants of Europe and other adjacent countries, therefore anyone who met them frequently mistook them for Egyptians.
  • As a result, they were dubbed "gypcian," a shorter form of the Middle English "Egypcien," and this ultimately became the current word "gypsy."
  • Today, people use the title fairly broadly to various nomadic communities, capitalizing it when they mean Romani.
  • The name has evolved to have numerous pejorative connotations, so while some Romani accept it solely because it is widely used, the majority do not self-identify with it and find it distasteful.
