And not all gypsies are Romani either. All roma are gypsy, but not all gypsies are from the roma tribe. They don't get to tell all the other gypsies that is a slur, when not all gypsies agree on it.

Wait are we supposed to pretend that the word wasn't imposed randomly insultingly on anyone who wasn't a "permanent" resident?

Like any reclaimed word, if you wouldn't have been described by it, don't fucking use it.

[(Anonymous)]

It is not a reclaimed word because while it can be used as a slur (as any word can) it is not always a slur. And more to the point, it is a word that several groups actually prefer be used by non-group members to refer to them and the lifestyle in general. Also calling a non-roma gypsy a roma is just as, if not moreso, insulting because you are negating their identity and supplanting it with one group which seeks to appropriate sole ownership of the gypsy ethnicity and lifestyle and erase it with their own. Police your own head first, please.

Nah, I'm good, since I wasn't actually talking about just Roma.

It ~not always being a slur, is some revisionist history though.

More importantly, like many groups, that ~preference is not actually consistent within those groups. I'd err on the side of no.
