[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, what? I haven't used the word in years, but when I was little my brothers and sisters used it. It's a slur? Yikes, I had no idea. What makes it a slur?[/quote] Derives from the word Gypsy, which itself is a derogatory term for Roma people.[/quote] Well, the truth is that the Roma culture and character is the problem. There are real, true, historical reasons for this. I have studied this deeply and carefully and there is very little redeeming about the Roma. That doesn't mean you have to / should use the word but there is little to admire about that particular culture.[/quote]
