The word "gypsy" is frequently used in pop culture — hiding its origins as a racial slur of a persecuted people.

Wanderlust, whimsy, I don't think these words are enough strong because they can be describing a lot of "communities" worldwide..
The majority of people around the world use this word without a second thought so, being proud when called with this word would be a solution...

Disney used this word multiple times in “Bells of Notre Dame” to describe Esmeralda. I didn’t even know what it meant till I watched this video. Thank you for letting me know.

Also, the word Gypsy should start with a capital letter, just as you take care to capitalize Native American. Our name is a proper noun.

While it actually does not have origins as a slur, it is often used as one now, and I appreciate her greatly for taking a moment to recognize there are many of us ethnic Gypsies who choose it, over Romany.

I’d like to ask everyone who is not Romani not to spell the racial slur anymore.
And if, write G*ps*
I mean, you wouldn’t do the same on Black People, would you?

Really! Now the word gypsy is also racist!?
I guess soon the word "Human" will be consider racist as well.
