Romani are actually a group of Indians who traveled up to Europe I believe over 1000 years ago, according to recent dna testing. The history of why the group migrated is lost to time. After so many generations a few white people got in there certainly, but originally people thought they were egyptian.

The meme isn't about what kinds of people are called white. It's about non-white characters being replaced with white characters, and no one uttering a peep. Then a mermaid is re-imagined as black and everyone loses their shit.

(another possibility is that I am not understanding your point)
