Your argument was that the word "gypsy" is offensive.

It is when used negatively by outsiders, which has been done time and time again by outsiders in this thread.

To travellers not of roma decent it is offensive. It has been reclaimed by the gypsy communities of roma decent in the same way the n word has been by blacks.

Research it, its quite interesting.
