XXX Verify Your Romany Researchers!

I am removing my endorsement from this petition. I have it on good authority that Amanda Schreiber is of Romany origin. And that she is engaged with other known authentic Romnichells in an effort with Harvard University to complete the following objectives: Gain minority ethnic group status, stop racial profiling, get minority business advantages. I would not want this petition to jeopardize any cooperation that Harvard is giving to this group of researchers in this noble endeavor. Also, the intent of this petition is in question due to the fact that Becky Lee applied for this position and was rejected.

mother was a cooper

No she not Romani nor does she have any Romani Origin in her Ancestry

There are lots of fakes who are getting funding and are only living the lifestyle there are not Romany by birth and DNA would prove that ! Thre are people here who also know many more but do not name them for fear of reprisals or threats that is very sad to only name those who you know wont retaliate by bullying and threats quite a little club it seems who all back each other up and thus help protect themselves if you name Amanda Schreiber as fake why not name and shame the many more most seem to have red hair for some reason?

Please check this Amanda out. She isn't a romani. She is a liar an is scamming our ppl out of grant money

This woman altered her DNA to show her to be romani. I have a copy of her original DNA. She is a scam artist and is committing a crime by impersonating somebody she isn't.

Soooo many white people pretending to be Gypsy, running orgs in our name banking off us, pushing ignorant ideas to do with us. It has o stop. If you like travelling or feel you are a free spirit, that doesn't make you Gypsy. If you just want to feel more exotic and fancy, that doesn't make you Gypsy. Stop stealing our identity. Stop robbing the voice from real Gypsies. Verify your members are really Gypsy. If they are not, they have no business on any Gypsy panel. A white person, or a black one, for that matter, should have no voice in what is right for us and our community, that is for our voices, and ours alone. Remove any non-Gypsy member, not just Schreiber. What a disgrace. I am a Lee, and proud. I can speak for myself.

My grandmother was a Willett, descended from the Lees and the Boswells

There are enough Accademics across the world doing worthwhile Genetic studies on the Romani people. What is she going to find thats new, that people have been researching for over 20+ years. I add my name to this petition to help many of my Romani friends.

They should not be able to profit off our people in any way shape or form . I'm signing this in good faith that my voice will be add to others so we can put a stop to this unjust situation .

Disgraceful and disrespectful

Snowball methodology leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t know who these “Romani leaders” are who will be furthered queried. We need more answers before this “report” speaks for our Romnichal people.

Sometimes when I'm in bed alone at night, I wonder what Chinese people eat for breakfast.

I have no idea if she is or isn’t. But she belongs to a group who are well known for their attacks on people that they believe aren’t Romanichael. It’s time for this rubbish to stop.

I am a Price born and a Thomas both blood one Papa side the other is Mama

My maiden name is Jeffrey.

Sick of fake Romani representing and making money out of us.

The Romany ancestry of this woman should be verified before allowing her to do research. Most researchers make us out to be criminals or worse.

My Romany heritage goes back to the 1600s.
