Have Any Of You Ever Met a Gypsy?

I never ever thought that real "pure" gypsies existed anymore, until I saw this show pop up on my Netflix: http://movies.netflix.com/WiPlayer?movieid=70291811&trkid=3325854
I have never ever met a gypsy in my life, so out of curiosity I watched it. But after watching it, I am now really.... really.... confused. They look and dress and act as loud and obnoxiously Jersey Shore kids, with Southern hillbilly accents and an 8th grade education, along with strict religious morals comparable to Catholics. I am so..... very.... very.... confused after watching all this.
Edit: Another thing I don't understand, is that I'm reading that gypsies are from the Pakistan/India kind of area. Yet these people claim they are from Ireland? Yet they have the jet black hair of a Middle Eastern and look more like Italians. I guess technically they're a mix of everything having travelled all over the world, but why do they say they are from Ireland?

Have any of you met a real gypsy, and what were they like?

In Berlin, in Alexanderplatz, they walk around with a baby asking you if you speak english then if you do they assume you have money and ask you for it. They are quite annoying.

Modern day gypsies in the U.S. are usually trustafarians. One can find them in the parking lots of jam band concerts.

Interesting. The ones on the show were poor, working-class white-trash who lived in trailers.

I did say 'usually.' Plenty of wooks and tour rat riff raff at those shows as well. Maybe head towards Williston, ND or other boom towns if you're in search of gypsies.

Would a tranny gypsy be a Trypsee or a Granny?

I accidently puddled myself one night with some very strong clean liquid to where i couldnt see my hand in front of my face at a medium-small drum circle gathering. I couldnt see where i was going and stumbled in a gypsy camp of a family who was doing some weird pagan fire performances booked earlier in the evening. The older lady started fucking with me big time by repeating things i was saying and just general fuckery. I had to just leave because i couldnt take it or tell wtf she was trying to accomplish. She seemed of middle eastern decent and had a huge family. This was in SE USA. Only time ive met gypsies, but i know a ton of nomads.

Irish Travellers (Irish: an lucht siúil) or Pavee, also called Tinkers or Gypsies (but not to be confused with the Romani people), are a traditionally itinerant people of ethnic Irish origin, who maintain a set of traditions[1][2] and a distinct ethnic identity. Although predominantly English speaking, some also use Shelta and other similar cants. They live mostly in Ireland as well as having large numbers in the United Kingdom and in the United States.[3] Around 10,000 people in the United States are descendants of Travellers who left Ireland, mostly during the period between 1845 and 1860 during the Great Famine.[4] About 2,500 of them live in Murphy Village, a community outside North Augusta, South Carolina.[5]
Christ, anyone ever been to Murphy village?

Friend, the people in the show are Irish Travelers, you're thinking of Romani people. If you watch the show there is an episode with a Romani girl though. G*psie is considered a slur by Romani people and the show itself is pretty terrible.
-------------------- “To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
