Roma je nacija a cigan moze biti i Srbin.
Npr. onaj koji zivi u nehigijeskim uslovima, prosi kao npr vas "idol" Misa Tumbas.
U Engleskoj postoje cigani ali oni nisu Romi nego se bave tipicnim ciganskim poslovima (prodaja konja, muzicari, gatare) i zive nomadskim zivotom. Jel si video npr. film Snatch? Jel Brad Pitt tamo glumio Roma ili cigana?
Evo jednog citata:
"Although the Romani people are often referred to as "Gypsies" (and prefer to be called by their more proper designation, Roma), not all "gypsies" or nomadic peoples are Roma. The Roma are descendants of the ancient warrior classes of Northern India, particularly the Punjab, and they are identifiable by their language, religion, and customs, which can be directly linked to those of the Punjabi in northern India. "
Inace imao sam na faksu dva (izborna) ispita o Romima (profesor je bio Rom) i tesko je u kratkim crtama napisati celu teoriju.
