Basically two different ethnic groups, the Roma originate in Eastern Europe, the 2010 article you linked to is in my opinion the start of the sort of thinking and scapegoating that has led us to where we are now. The Traveller/Gypsy (as stereotyped on My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding) is of Irish origins, a lot of them came over during the industrial revolution to make money building things.
