How do you know someone is a gypsy?

Sometimes you can ,sometimes you can't. I am half gypsy however no one knows i am and even my dad dosn't act it Originally gypsies were indian however they all spread over Europe and south America in 1400 century and have mixed. for example romanian gypsies are usually dark because they have more gypsy indian blood in them however Celtic Irish (fair irish not black irish) are quite light because they only have extremely distant indian blood in them for example 10th great grandad or something. If someone is a gypsy and has the culture ,you can tell by what they wear. Women usually wear crop tops, and also bellydancing is in the culture. Gypsies are also usually very tough due to the traditional male knuckle fighting. Gypsies traditional religion is Catholic. Gypsies are either Caucasian(white), asian or mixed between asian and caucasian.Its rare to gypsies mixed with the black race, as afro-carribean, africans are not gypsies. Gypsy culture is very similar to the Spanish,Irish,Egyptian and Indian culture. Gypsies also usually have large families. All gypsies I know are kind and friendly and the women espiecially are very easy to get on with. They also usually have strict upbringings and are not allowed to loose their virginity before they are married because this is seen as impure and scandalous. Gypsies are also clean and traditionally the women didn't work and only the men did however this has changed slightly over the years. hope this helps!
