88. Django was born in Wallonie (francophone Belgium) but he grew up
in Paris. He is historicaly concidered as French. His tribe (the Manouches) is usually concidered as the gypsies of France too even if they are nomads. Anyway, to end any debate ;) he was 100% a Parisian and it means a lot! Many persons are Parisians of heart even if they are from another country and it's neither antithetic nor impossible (T.Jefferson, E.Hemingway, Arthur Miller and many who had to escape MacCarthysm, P.Salinger to mention only a few Americans). Josephine Baker in the 30ies used to sing "J'ai deux amours, mon Pays et Paris." (I have two loves, my Country and Paris). Paris has always love Americans.
