> i did hear about gypsy villages in romania, which i suppose is another way to stand out despite being not nomadic.

There are a lot of gypsy villages in Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and I am sure many other countries have those as well. By gypsy villages I mean that the majority of the population is gypsies.

As for the rest, we do have many gypsies who have integrated, but they did so by getting away from their family. The gypsies who have integrated here have some hatred towards the ones who didn't. Mainly because the ones who haven't integrated are still begging, being thieves (robbing people), and are responsible for a lot of violent crimes. They make up the majority of our prisons, too, and not because of racism, but because they did actually commit crimes. FWIW, there are very rich gypsies and very poor ones, and they also hate each other, yet both of them engage in illegal activities.
