A racial slur that's only a slur in certain regions of the world, isn't used as much as it was and tends to be used in certain circles, so yes it's entirely possibly for a person to never hear it as a slur and to know it's a motor engine because all the Jaeger's are inspired by various historical planes.

Also, the creators have apologised, explained they didn't know it was a slur and that they will do there best not to do it again in the future. It's not some secret, racist conspiracy. It's a word used to mean lots of things the world over that also happens to be shared with a slur. That they've apologised for and won't do again.

Fuck the only time I have even heard of the word gipsy was a) horses and b) that one disney movie so vaguely aware it was for people but not that it was a slur. Why? Because like the goddamn movie I am not based in Europe or the SJW-wing of America and therefore have not run across it.
