quote:
Your response was to me but I never noted a difference between Roma and Gitano. Gitano means egyptian and only more loosely gypsy. As for anthropologists, most that I have read including Teresa San Roman, Bertha Quintana, and Paloma Gay y Blasco prefer Gitano in order to differentiate from other Rom groups. If there is a myth about gypsies, its racial purity. For one, racial purity does not exist. For two, there has been intermarrying for generations although they prefer to marry within.
quote:
This thread has over-analyzed the subject
No such thing. Words are imperfect for communication. Even the most eloquent and articulate scholars have difficulty writing about music, for example.
Don't like the cante, don't listen.
Don't like a thread, don't read.
A. You have just confirmed my comment about some (not all) would-be ethno-historians' inaccurate observations on this thread. In Spanish, Egyptian is rendered as "egipcio," not, as you suggest, gitano. Gitano remains the preferred Spanish term for gypsy.
B. If you think there is no such thing as over-analyzing a subject, I invite you to re-read this thread, which now consists of six pages, from the beginning.
Cheers,
Bill
