Romani

Explanation:
După Wikipedia, toate sunt corecte care le-ai zis deja. În articol zice undeva la un moment dat că Roma este denumirea pe care majoritatea aparţinătorilor etniei o folosesc ei înşişi ca nume pentru etnia lor; dar majoritatea organizaţiilor folosesc totuşi Romani:

Some Romanies use ***Roma*** as an ethnic name, while others (such as the Sinti, or the Romanichal) do not use this term as a self-ascription for the entire ethnic group. ...

Today, the term ***Romani*** is used by most organizations—including the United Nations, the Council of Europe, and the US Library of Congress.[17]

However the term ***Roma*** is also used to refer to Romani people around the world.

Deci Romani pare să fie termenul cel mai politically correct; de asta parcă pe ăsta l-aş folosi.
