Racist origins of "gypsy"

and I'm still a traveling soul

I will not stop...I AM OF ROMANIAN HERITAGE and the original meaning before defiled meant a traveling group of people whom sold goods

I like everyone I'm not picky we all have the same thing there isn't anyone out their that is better than the next person in line Tracy.

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.

Thank you. I did not know; now I do.

I have been using the word to describe the type of music from Eastern Europe , for example Gypsy Beats , may need a new label to use in the future

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?

I did not know that at all, my mother called herself a gypsy, meaning she was free spirited

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

It's shocking how many people don't know this.

WHO says Gypsy is a racial slur? Gypsies?? 👎

Gypsy a member of a travelling people traditionally living by itinerant trade and fortune telling. Gypsies speak a language (Romany) that is related to Hindi and are believed to have originated in South Asia nomadic or free-spirited person. Gypsy is unique name for our people, gypsy is person who travel we been travelind over 1000 years before we even become roma becase we are originally from India where most people believes is hindu or Buddhism or siksm we never been roma until we start travel we shoudl be proud to be gypsy roma
