    The Albanians, these tigers of mountain wars ... have as their religion rebellion. Even their worst warrior is one of the strongest and bravest on the battle-field, just as if he was a knight on the legendary horse. But he has no horse, nor proper weapons for battle. Instead of the horse, he has a lance which strikes as lightning, he has spears who's points are full of posion as the sting of hornets, he has also a wooden bow with some arrows. Furthermore, he is stronger than iron ...

    - Ibn Kemal, Historian of the Turkish court during Skanderbeg's war against the Turks.

    None of them.

    At least blacks were used as slaves to build something, houses or roads, if that counts.

    I mean real gypsies, not people who are over 90% British with a little gypsy ancestry. Also, him being Romanichal isn't mentioned on wikipedia. Are you sure it's not just a rumor?

    With Chaplin it might be just a rumor, but think of people like Django Reinhardt or Gypsy Rodney Smith.
