Observation: Is Pauly D a Roma Gypsy?

I'm going to come right out and admit it:  I like reality television.  And while partaking in my fair share last night, something occurred to me while watching My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding,  something in the back of my reality TV numbed brain, but Pauly D from Jersey Shore looks a helluva lot like these American Gypsy boys.  Now, a note:  This by far not an educated guess and it's most likely just a coincidence.  However, once it hit me I couldn't get it out of my head.  It is also of note that I used Wikipedia for all of my "research."  My College of Liberal Arts professors are probably kicking themselves right now and wanting to rescind my degree...


However,  here are my three observations as to why Pauly D could be a Roma Gypsy:
  1. "Most Roma do not communicate their ethnic identity to non-Roma, and may claim to be another ethnic origin..." (Wikipedia)
  2. The Gypsy Wedding series, both in the UK and now in the US, depict gypsies as loving a good party.  Who better than the fist-pumping, GTL loving, Pauly D to love a party?  And HOST them with his DJ services? 
  3. And most importantly and the thing that started me thinking about all of this:  the HAIR. it.is.exactly.the.same.

Just saying, people.  Something to stew over.

    He does not look Italian. There are plenty of gypsies in Italy too. So guidos can also be Romani. It's a genetic look, smallish round head, darkish skin, small nose for an Italian - just sayin'. Look at Guiliana Rancic - classic Romani looks.

      Romani (Gypsy) people originally came from Pakistan and Western India (Rajasthan).
