[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up knowing about the Roma people and knowing that they are sometimes reffered to as "gypsy". I also thought that "gypsy" had come to mean "nomad" or "traveler". I mean obviously calling someone a "dirty gypsy" or thinking that because they are Roma they are thieves or a discriminating based on their ethnicity is wrong, but it is news to me that "gypsy spirit" (usually used lightly to describe a free spirit or nomadic person) is now a slur on par with N*****. [/quote] Neither you nor anyone else gets to dictate how offensive they deem a word. Sorry.[/quote]
