    Default Do you get the feeling anglospehere media conflates eastern europe with gypsies?

    I think Borat does, he uses gypsy villagers to portray them as Kazakhs, he potrays Kazakhs with gypsy music, and dances. His daughter is Bulgarian though but he conflates a few things like gypsy teenage marriage and gender roles with kazakhstan etc. And he exaggerates because gypsy women are not slaves though of their fathers or husbands, he conflates, a bit of reality, with stereotypes and gypsies with eastern europe and the exotic. I get the feeling when something is backwards or negative about eastern europe it is usually about gypsies in the media. I think that pisses of eastern europeans, but actually it is also anti-gypsy or primarily anti-gypsy.

    Hollywood always portrayed eastern Europeans as Slavs mainly Russians with strong accents and tough personalities.
