Gypsies and DNA Tests. Do their results make sense?

[Mortimer]

Gypsies are seen as highly exotic race and people are surprised about their results and they are seen as pure indian phenotypes. And one jew on facebook who also used to post here said to me that I am 50% southasian and that my results are wrong. But I think with the results pure brown gypsies get sometimes it does make sense that they look like they do. It is possible.

Only 9% Eastern European and 4% Baltic (which would have really a significant lightening effect on the phenotype) close to 50% southasian and rest is oriental/northafrican/jewish/greek (those ethnicities are lighter then southasians and gypsies but still not significantly light) and considering that she is close to 50% southasian it is possible that they look like they do (with dark brown skin colour etc.). Do you agree or you think the results are wrong and they should be 80% southasian like african-americans are black?

My results (20% southasian and seems like half of that bosnian gypsy since i also have significant recent european ancestry on my paternal side)

The traditional stereotype of Gypsies is as being people with very dark skin color who look somehow foreing and mysterious

Though going by phenotypes of actual Gypsy people there is quite alot of variation depending on the group and some
Gypsy groups look like they mixed with Europeans

Yet people would still be surprised because there is also a stereotype that Gypsies were living in very closed clan based communities and never mixed
or intermarried with others

But yet it seems they did by both phenotype and genotype

How much South Asian % do "full gypsies" have on K13? What's the range like?

[Chris596]

It's possible that you actually have more. I have a Romani/Gypsy friend and I want him to take a test like this one. Sadly, I can't take Myheritage too seriously and I have to agree with the others who said that the ancestry report is not too accurate (in some cases). In my case, Myheritage is pretty retarded and I can only believe in GEDmatch and AdmixtureStudio results which tell me a whole different story.

What do you think? I know you said that I'm 100% European but I kindly disagree with you, it has turned out that Myheritage doesn't really work for me. (I know that my ancestry is 80-90% from the Balkans but the rest is always weird and GEDmatch really tells me other things as well)

You are 80% European, some people claimed it was less here on the forum.
