The statement that Hungarians have gypsy blood is simply WRONG. Gypsies are a nomadic people that originate from India. They do not integrate with the community of the country into which they wander. That would be against gypsy culture. Thus, gypsies only marry and/or have offspring with other gypsies. Thus, Hungarians do NOT have gypsy blood. Unfortunately, the success of gypsy musicians in Hungary has inaccurately linked Hungarians with gypsies in the minds of ignorant people.

Gypsies are a nomadic people that originate from India. LOL!
My Hungarian grandmother (God rest her soul) would be most amused to hear that.
