ok so i would like to add something to the thread :
a few months ago i met a 3/4 kurdish + 1/4 gypsy guy on another site
i have a kit number of a person from iraq who is 1/4 indian (has an indian grandmother) and gets modelled as 80% kurdsh + 20% indian on calculators
and i have another gedmatch kit number of a person who is half kurdish half gypsy ! from turkey
let me first post his / her eurogenes k12b results and compare to mine
keep in mind this person is half gypsy and not even full
:
Western European 6.4 Pct
Siberian 2.26 Pct
East African 1.15 Pct
West Central Asian 15.84 Pct
South Asian 13.63 Pct
West African -
Caucasus 24.5 Pct
Finnish -
Mediterranean 15.52 Pct
Southwest Asian 9.3 Pct
North European 9.12 Pct
East Asian 2.27 Pct
compare with my results :
Western European 4.13 Pct
Siberian 1.63 Pct
East African -
West Central Asian 21.12 Pct
South Asian 1.53 Pct
West African 1.13 Pct
Caucasus 33.97 Pct
Finnish -
Mediterranean 17.98 Pct
Southwest Asian 14.11 Pct
North European 2.99 Pct
East Asian 1.37 Pct
also this is what this person gets as 2 population modelling in harappaworld and mdlp k16
mdlp k16 :
51.7% Roma (Gypsy) + 48.3% Kurd (Syria) @ 3.1
harappaworld (romanian b = gypsy reference) :
53.8% romanian-b (behar) + 46.2% kurd (harappa) @ 3.54
ok so to make a summary :
- there are a lot of gypsies in turkey
- there are a good amount of gypsies in kurdish regions . the numbers are highly underestimated . i have read into this and i can tell you our gypsies are one of the most unknown
- many of our gypsies larp as turkish or kurdish
- even though many kurds dont mix with them ...some kurds have assimilated them . and there are people who are kurdish + gypsy mixes . like the dude on another site i met a few days ago who is 3/4 kurdish and 1/4 gypsy . or the result i posted above of a person who is half kurdish half gypsy . and we shall not forget the kit number i have of the person who is not gypsy but 1/4 indian 3/4 iraqi ...so such people exist too in small amounts too. and i bet that many of such people who are mixed will just claim they are kurdish to people . iirc the 1/4 gypsy guy just claimed to be kurdish in his thread after people guessed him as ethnicites .
and dont forget that we also have many arabs in east / southeast turkey . and there are also kurdish arab mixes . but to be fair many of them can pass as kurdish because the arabs in turkey are levantine like
- there are turks that hate kurds and many turks online say nonsense about kurds and misportray us . they also say in gypsy videos that they are kurds etc.
so everything that i said comes out as the truth in the end
so do you see a pattern now ?
do you understand now that we are misportrayed ? that people have a wrong idea of what kurds are and how we look like ?
pretty happy that what i say shows on the surface more and more .
