    A lot of people don’t realize that the word gypsy has negative connotations or was ever used as a slur. For a lot of people, it’s the only word they’ve ever heard to describe Romani people.

    I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing. The negative association being forgotten seems like a good thing, but the actual origin is bad.
