Are there some Turks who look similar or resemble Balkan Gypsies but are not Gypsies themselfes?

[Mortimer]

Or Kurds but who are not Gypsies? In other words: is there any overlap? Well some Gypsies are very black skinned and have australoid tendencies but not all. Is there any ovlerap?

Serbian Gypsies





Bulgarian Gypsies

Some? most of Turks do.

I ask because on 23andme Gypsies are quiete alot of Turkish though. Does that make any sense?

[Kivan]

No, those people only pass in Turkey only as gypsies. They look South Asian to me.

Very lame thread, anyway.

It may be because of Gypsies being assimilated here or Turks being assimilated in Gypsies of Balkans.

It is not a troll thread though. I ask because on 23andme Gypsies are alot of turkish though but pure gypsies are 20-30% southasian so probably that makes the difference. Turks are not southasian.

No, it must be just coincidence because they might be mixed with West Asians. Gypsies also get Balkan in the first place on Gedmatch results because they have Balkan admixture.

Just request some mod to delete this thread. This is getting ridiculous and embarracing.

Yes but for the westasian it says "turkey eastern provinces and turkey western provinces". Gypsies with more balkan might be half gypsies like me.

There are some Ex-Ottoman Muslim Gypsies who still talk in our language in Balkans so probably some of them mixed with Turks, otherwise we don’t have any similarity with Gypsies both genetically and phenotypically.

Btw about these Gypsies above, none of them can pass as Turk.
