Would being Gypsy qualify for URM

Quick question, would having a Eastern European gypsy background qualify for a URM status. I assume being of gypsy heritage one should qualify for URM since we are by far the most URM worldwide in any institute of higher education.

No, it doesn’t qualify you for URM status. Sorry

In America you're just White/European descent (even though gypsies, to my knowledge, are originally from India).
