it’s sad how predictable this thread is. I hate people camping all over print hoodie Person ignorantly repeats a slur, other people come in to inform them of said slur, person gets defensive and a ton of anti-“PC culture” warriors jump in to rail against how “sensitive” everyone is.

and post and make some random, unrelated, troll like comment just probably for fun. Perhaps get yourself a hobby instead. Maybe even help someone or contribute to the human race instead of detracting from great general conversation!? Some Roma people consider it a slur, some don’t, some use it for themselves. I generally think it makes sense to accept when someone feels hurt by an expression, I hate people camping all over print hoodie as it really doesn’t cost us much to change our words but it can mean a lot to a marginalised person, even if not all Roma agree on the issue of terms.
What I feel is more harmful is those people thinking that “gypsy” meant “carefree” and “rebellious”. This is obviously derived from stereotypes about the ethnic group. For those who don’t know, Roma are a heavily marginalised group facing lots of discrimination. Discrimination against them (and by that I mean physical violence, exclusion from society, following them around in shops because they might steal something) seems to be the last form of open racism that is widely socially acceptable.
