I don’t think American Gypsy is a thing.

Please refer to them as American-Romani if you must identify them as American. Romani is the correct term for their heritage. Gypsy is a slur.

That’s a beautiful photo, what a wonderful looking family.

I already knew some bleeding heart performative dork would comment on terminology before even clicking. Sorry that happened.

On the plus side, awesome picture. Thank you for sharing.
