I looked it up. There was a place named Transylvania, which until WWI was part of the Austria-Hungarian Empire. I even found the old maps. And it is beautiful. Why do you call my comment bigotry?

In its history, it was Dacia, then Rome, then Germanic tribes, invaded by Huns (Hungarians)and Bulgars (Bulgarians); taken over by Ottoman Turks; then reclaimed by the Hapsburgs of Austria-Hungary, and finally taken over by the Romanians.

When I was there, the locals told me everyone there was Romanian and had always been Romanian--LOL! It wasn't true, but that was what they were pushing.

Right, in the Carpathian Mountains. As to those who casually call others bigots and racists, they need a few punches in the nose to break that mean habit. Or maybe occasionally be sued for slander. Those words have lost their sting since leftists use them constantly, like a frog saying ribbit.
