I guess I kind of thought you were Jewish, but I didn't really feel one way or the other about it. I'll tell you a story. My aunt for some reason thinks Hungarians and Gypsies are the same thing somehow, which is terrible, because her mom (my grandma) was Hungarian. I don't think anybody knew about this misunderstanding she had been harboring, and when my grandma passed away, it was this aunt who made arrangements with a church for the funeral. So I think almost everyone else was bewildered when the pastor kept calling my grandma a "gypsy woman". Maybe there's more to this story than I know about, because I've heard stories of mixing of this and that, or stealing of babies, but from what I understand, she was a woman from Budapest and a good Magyar family. Still, it was a really good reflection on her life, if a bit culturally inaccurate.
