Re: The word "gypsy"

No, it's definitely still a slur. You just don't realize it because most Roma and Romani don't let you know that they are. But look at how we even portray them in media here when we see them, even in modern stuff: shady people who move from town to town, often with a criminal background.

No, that is Irish travellers. Lead nicking scum that they are, although to be fair that describes most paddys. Irish travellers are so bad that even the gyppos (FTR, Gypsy is non racist, gyppo, gypo, gyp, roamer -that is a good one, because it is close to Roma in pronunciation so you can call the gyps roamers and get away with it if you slur like an Irish-, and diddy are the racist terms; I know my racism) hate being lumped in with the Irish Travellers. That is a reason a lot of Gypsy groups in the West of the UK prefer being called Gypsies so as not to be confused with the Irish Travellers and will get insanely violent if you do confuse them or if the Irish try to call themselves Gypsies. The Irish do that all the time too, because even they know the gypsies have better public image than they do.

Not to mention that while all Roma are gypsies, not all gypsies are Roma. It is an Eskimo/Inuit/Northern First Nations situation thing going on. So calling someone who is one of the non-Roma gypsies Roma is a pretty big insult to them too.

Hope that is clear now.
