According to this map, that i don't know how accurate it is, they are really not that many.

Yes, but that was their choice. I also find it strange how they can be so isolated for centuries.

Why are you such a liar? Gypsies in Turkey are completely assimilated, you moron!
Compare Bulgarians with Gypsies and you'll see who looks the part. :rotfl:
I do remember to see this map too but with labels.
We thought they were more because some of them din't even had identity card and vaguely lived between Spain (where they all have family) and Portugal. Apparently the number is about half of what we imagined.
In my home town there are two big families with grand grand-parents they are some 40 and we have another 5-6 small families that left the roots of the other two. They are around 20 dispersed in villages where they abbandoned most of gypsy traditions.So 60 in 45-50000 hab. makes 0,12-0,13%.
I don´t think any one would mind if they married a gypsy that came in the 70s or something, not that any one would. But marrying the Romanians today is something no would do :nono:
