Who are the Roma/Romani? (Take 2)

by joebob1337

I’ve heard of these people, and that they’re decently widespread across Europe, but I have no clue about who they actually are, where they came from, and their own history. Was hoping some of you here could teach me about these people. (Trying this again because I had Gy**** in the title and I didn’t know it was a slur for them, whoops!)
