<p>[QUOTE="DavidC, post: 357583, member: 7449"]I think the point is lost here. The original post of "Gitana" dancers is typically Spanish other than the subjects seem to show darker faces than what is expected by many people. The Gypsies of Spain especially and mostly Andalusia are directly related to the Phonecian and Carthaginian traders of about 5000 years ago. While North Africans are often dark they are different from what is generally understood as Negro. Phonecian's are completely different on the other hand being more similar to Caucasians in stature and angular features although with dark sapphire eyes and jet black hair. Since the mixture of the Carthaginians and Phonecians with other members of the mixed Spanish culture has been limited the race of the Spanish Gypsy would seem to now have taken on its own identity. Something they are rightly proud of and why not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
