somebody told me gypsy is a derogatory term
so i try not to say it
i dont like to hurt anyones feelings ever
i also got yelled at once for saying "oriental" but i didnt know youre supposed to say "asian" instead

It's derogatory because people think of thieves and get overs when they think of "that type" of Gypsies.....but they also think of Gypsies as beautiful women, I know way back men used to always tattoo them on their bodies. I think of a Gypsy woman as a beautiful lady. Fantasy of course.
