Oh, good lord. Romany butthurt is one of the more ridiculous corners of SJW wank.

Like, yeah, there are some terrible stereotypes, but Western Europeans and Americans very often don't even mean "gypsy" (or "gitane") as an insult. It's a word for a romanticized nomadic lifestyle.

Not to mention Gypsy is still a generally accepted term in the UK, where the interview took place. AFAIK it's still on the census. Not that being on government forms is a pass, but it's the only term I've heard the group use to identify themselves. From what I've heard, Norton's reaction is more about his own issues* than the PC term.

*I read (but haven't confirmed) that his family is Irish Traveller, who are included in the same category on the census but are distinct in many ways.
