    We also have our own preferences but we don't call North Slavic looks Eskimo.

    Both Poland and Russia had the intent of conquering the Romanian principalities and the gypsy label was meant to diminish the enemy (sort of untermensch label). In the case of governorate of Moldova, it was an incentive to assimilate into East Slavs.

    It's the same in Serbia, I guess other parts of Balkan as well. Of course, since there is more Med/darker features, it needs little bit more traces of it to be suspected for a Gypsy.

    We have the same word "ciganiti" and it means similar - to make yourself look bad/not fair.

    the reasons behind it are different. In the Balkans it's Meds calling other Meds gypsy

    We still since the end of communism consider Romanians as worse, even Roma people (Romowie) commonly are confused with Romanians. I mean that ignorant people do it because the clever ones know things and never look down on other nations. We also usually don't like Russians as mixed with Mongols behaving like cavemen that used to rape our women, children and chicken during Polish-soviet war and WW2. And from the other hand we had very good relations with Romania before and during WW2.

    mostly dark phenotypes (dark in the euro range).

    but then again, serbs firmly believe they're lighter than romanians. when I hear that I feel like facepalming myself hard.
