Both are mixed race and not white. Both England and America have become melting pots of ethnicity. I class Romani gypsies as mixed race.
This anthropological studies is becoming very tricky
I would classify Beyonce as Black for a number of reasons:
1. The US standard of race (ie what is a Black person)
2. Both parents are Black (ie they are not White)
3. She looks 'Black'
[This does not mean to say that she does not have any White blood within her, but rather her phyenotype (ie outward appearance) is predominantly Black.]
I think I grasped that you believe the Romanis are mixed. Here I would agree with you, since they have their origins from India. However, having being in Romania for over a 1,000 years this is why I suggested they are 'White' because they would have mixed with the other 'White' groups there.
When you compare a Romani to an Indian even though there can be similarities I see them being somewhat different, since they have been away from the Indian sub-continent for a thousand years.
Hope you can follow this
I think we just have different definitions on terminology. Though I clearly understand what you mean by the term a 'White Romanian'.
