vickix got a reaction from Mouseykins in "Gypsy" Items.
I come from a travellers/gypsy background and I don't find the word 'gypsy' offensive in the slightest. It is the word used to describe a culture or way of life, if people decide to use it as a slur then that isn't the word causing offense, it's the person using it who's doing that.
Banning or changing the word doesn't fix anything, it just puts a band aid on the bigger problem.
