It's nice the writer gave a genuine apology. I'll go look for that statement.

And then there's also the fact that a lot of people don't even know it's a slur. Especially Americans--not a whole lot of Romany culture around here.

My experience is with tumblr (I mostly passed the discussion on FS). I follow some people who would definitely question it, just surprised they didn't.

I might have an idea why some didn't, I just translated it to Norwegian and now I am kinda offended... Somehow I thought Gypsy was a different word...

I hate when that happens...

In my defence my heritage is of Tater which was the Norwegian Romani, and the government basically castrated every single member and took the children away... Which was you know nice, and if you would never use the Norwegian word for Gypsy when referring to them, because an entire group of people was killed off! Did I mention this was AFTER WW2 and up to the fucking 60s? Because yeah that happened, it is rude to refer to a group of people with the wrong name damnit!

/end rant

(To clarify I still enjoy the film, and I understand that not everyone can know everything and yeah there is a letters difference and all that, but still... When I rule the world things will be different)

Oh and I am a tad bit late to the party, so anyho how's life Morieris?
