She would have accomplished more if she had said nothing, then singled out her Roma musicians for applause at the end of the concert, then simply announced that they were Roma and left it at that.

Romanians and other Central and Eastern Europeans are perfectly familiar with Roma musicianship and do not need for either you or Madonna to point this out to them.

On a related note, pointing out to me that a significant number of Black Americans are accomplished musicians makes me feel no differently regarding the wisdom of going for a stroll in West Oakland, South-side Chicago, South-central L.A., the lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans, Detroit, Philly, Newark, Baltimore, D.C., etc., etc.

Dear, I wasn’t pointing anything out to you. And I have strolled in Philly, Baltimore, DC, etc many times without fear.
