[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe not in North America. But in Europe it is definitely on the same level as the N word is here. And frankly, who are you to decide what's more offensive to respective minority? [/quote] Look, I'm tremendously sympathetic to the Roma, but where exactly in Europe is the local word derived from "gypsy" as socially unacceptable as the n-word is here? Europe is big, so I assume you might be right about somewhere, but speaking only to Slovakia, Czech Republic, and Poland, the word is not as offensive as the n-word is in the United States. It's offensive, but still in common usage, which makes it different than the n-word here. [/quote]
