BTW, I find Westerners' obsession with the Roma, of all of the billion zillion fascinating Eastern European and Eurasian ethnic groups, to be extremely annoying. Victor Hugo wrote a book with them in it that was made into a Disney movie, so they're in the popular consciousness, unlike all the other billion zillion Eastern European and Eurasian ethnic groups, such as the Chuvash, the Kalmyks, the Buryats, the Cossacks, the Tyvans, the Bashkirs, etc. etc. etc. It would be pretty damn hard to find a Westerner who knows that the Chuvash even exist, despite there being two million of them, with their own language, which is quite beautiful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry4ME10Hgho&feature=related
