I already got classified here but the pics i provided were taken by webcam and mobile phone and people couldnt tell my ethnicity proper. They thought im romanian, bulgarian, turkish etc... Im actually a roma/gypsy from serbia. Here are my pictures please classify me proper and tell me in which countries i could fit in Frontal Half-Profile Profile

Hi King, they are much different pictures this time around. The half profile gives you a Rom look. I think possibly an Irano-Afghan?
King, do you have some serbian ancestry also?

^ What he means by eastern is not far eastern like china or japan, but the near east like west asia (Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan etc...)

What you say is wrong...most gypsies dont look indid anymore. They have developed their own distinct look. And you do have it. Gypsies look like that...you are extremely overweight...you have no neck...your lips look like compressed...your nose...your hair colour..this all mixed with a flat back of your head makes you looking gypsy. I hope you dont take it as an insult since I know you are indeed a gypsy. Of course you dont look directly indid...since you might have (like every other gypsy) European ancestors as well. But if you mix some sort of Indians and Europeans...your look is what comes out after some generations.

I saw you on the street, I'd probably guess you were Lebanese or Iranian.

But if you mix some sort of Indians and Europeans...your look is what comes out after some generations. most gypsies dont have european ancestors or only very small amount and very distant. especially the gypsies in balkans and eastern europe thats why they are dark. in the uk and scandinavia gypsies are mixed and look like south europeans but not the gypsies in eastern and southeastern europe. most gypsies are indeed indid or have strong indid influence. and yes i have indeed serbian ancestors from my paternal line (but not all gypsies in the balkans). and what has being overweight and having no neck to do with being gypsy? i have no neck because im fat. and my nose is dinaric or roman i think. i think what gives me away is my pigmentation and eyebrows and eyes but not my nose. i have a underbite so my chin looks deformed and my lips look compressed (if i would have a normal bite i wouldnt have compressed lips) so its not a racial traite but because of underbite (its a deformation actually) and what am i if im not indid?

I agree with Frosted Flake, if l saw you on the street for the first time, l would have said Iranian or Lebanese. You are 100% correct, the european roma people are strongly mixed with peoples with whom they have come into contact with.

I took German gypsies as criterion...they are mixed usually and look very similar to you. I dont know what subrace you have since I dont think you fit into any of the subraces I know...what doesnt mean that I know all subraces, of course I do not. Im not very familiar with the non-european subraces.

Im not very familiar with the non-european subraces. yeah german gypsies are the sinti and i think they are more mixed than balkan gypsies. most mixed are the scandinavian and english gypsies. the balkan and eastern european gypsies are rather "pure".

"i dont think they are "strongly" mixed because they just dont look very mixed to me. there might be some admixture but not very much."
Remember King, the Persians (ancestors of Kurds, Iranians and Afghans) mixed with the indigenous Dravidians of India when they conquered it, they brought the indo-european language to the india like hindi, uru etc....the biggest impact of racial mixing happened in the northern half of india and pakistan where the aryans mixed with local dravidians who are mostly now of southern india. Gypsies came from punjabi (northern india) and possible mixed again with persian people when they arrived to the balkans in the 13th century.
