[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is actually a TV show in England called "my Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" -- and that is a highly regulated tv market -- so no, nowhere remotely close to the "n" word, even in Europe. (And England does have gypsies/travelers who face discrimination etc) That said, Michelle Obama said "gypped" a while back -- that's been considered offensive for a while now.[/quote] It's an age thing. I don't find it offensive, as I've had plenty of face-to-face encounters with gypsies. They are all over Europe, and when I visit family and friends in Italy, they are always begging. Europeans are not tolerant of them, nor should they be. Able-bodied folks who beg in the streets and who train their children to follow in their footsteps don't deserve respect. Have you seen the ones wheeling themselves around on wagons, pretending to have no legs from the knees down? classic [/quote]
