  • I'm not sure you have the right to tell anyone what words are and are not okay to use when you literally have a racial slur in your username...

      • "First, g*psy is a slur. No matter what you think, it has been a slur for centuries. It’s where the term “gypped" comes from. It was believed that the Roma would rip gadje (non-Roma) off for money. Roma who escaped the fate of death at the hands of the SS and their dogs, the ones who weren’t killed right away, were branded with a "Z", which stood for Zigeuner, the German word for "G*psy". They were shipped to death camps, where barely any suvived.

        It is a slur still used today. Roma are called “Gyppos” while being beaten, forced out of their settlements, forced to move. They are called this when they are assaulted and even raped. They are victims of forced sterilization, forcible eviction of settlements, harassment by both law enforcement and citizens, fingerprinting simply because they are Roma, they are often ecxluded from schools."

        • Read a dictionary, shithead. Everything you said is absolutely correct, but incomplete. You are like CNN, you twist the facts to suit your needs.
          I truly resent your attack.
          The meaning of many commonly used words were different in the past and you are just stinking up the world with this kind of crap.
