When describing a person's affiliation, „Sinto“ often follows „als“ without an article. This pattern can be found in expressions such as „sich als Sinto bezeichnen“ (to describe oneself as a Sinto) or „als Sinto aufwachsen“ (to grow up as a Sinto).
Er ist als Sinto in einer kleinen Stadt aufgewachsen.
He grew up as a Sinto in a small town.
„Sinto“ is a factual term that is also used as a self-designation. When referring to a specific person, you should take into account how they describe themselves.

In his biography, the artist describes himself as a Sinto.
„Sinto“ can be combined with nationality adjectives, for example „ein deutscher Sinto“ (a German Sinto) or „ein österreichischer Sinto“ (an Austrian Sinto). The term itself says nothing about a person's nationality.

The German Sinto talks about his family's history.
