The Roma are as Indian as the Native Americans are Chinese. They are culturally unlike Indians.

In France, the Roma. They park in a suburban neighborhood for a week or so just monitoring the comings and goings till they learn the best time to rob the houses. They poison the dogs, steal the pipes, the whole routine.
Municipalities routinely dig ditches round vacant lots to prevent those creeps from parking their trailers since once they’re installed they milk the place dry, all the women and kids show up at the city hall demanding welfare. They don’t use the toilets in their trailers, so they do their duty outside. It gets stinky. It’s a real drag. Kick’em out.

You are completely wrong. I was referring to Indians from Eurasia and not American Indians. Quoting from Wikipedia: "Linguistic and genetic evidence indicates the Romanies originated from the Indian subcontinent, emigrating from India towards the northwest no earlier than the 11th century. The Romani are generally believed to have originated in central India, possibly in the modern Indian state of Rajasthan, migrating to northwest India (the Punjab region) around 250 BC. In the centuries spent here, there may have been close interaction with such established groups as the Rajputs and the Jats. Their subsequent westward migration, possibly in waves, is believed to have occurred between AD 500 and AD 1000. Contemporary populations sometimes suggested as sharing a close relationship to the Romani are the Dom people of Central Asia and the Banjara of India.[37]"

But I've seen them in their ..natural state in Eastern Europe and their music and dance and clothing continues to be strikingly similar to the Indians. Ask the gypsies too and they'll say the same thing.
