Gypsies - what does it mean?
A Gypsy is a member of a racial/ethnic group known as the Romani, generally characterized by darker skin and black hair. The largest population of Gypsies now lives in Eastern Europe, however communities of Gypsies can be found in many countries around the world. They first originated in India sometime before 400 AD, and began a nomadic lifestyle that eventually took many of them to Europe. From one initial community in India they have developed into several tribes that exist from India to Spain and from Russia to Northern Africa, and each tribe consists of countless clans, which vary dramatically in culture and lifestyle depending on which tribe and clan and even family they belong to. Clans usually specialize in a single, or few trades, such as horsemanship, fishing, music, dance and entertainment, metal working, and fortune telling.
They have endured much racial discrimination in the past, which still continues today.
"That Gypsy man really takes care of his horses."
Gypsies - meaning
While normally considered a racial slur, the word "gypsy" (in the US) refers to a person of Romani heritage. As with all cultures and groups, there are good and bad. They should not all be lumped into one group.
I have met Rom that have stolen from my store, and I have met many Rom that have been wonderful, paying customers for years. You simply cannot blame an entire race of people for the misdeeds of a few. Are all whites bad? No. All blacks? No.
The Romani in the US are not ethnically similar to the "Chav" or "Travellers" in the UK. At least in the US, the Romani that I have met dress very modestly, and are not bad people. They tend to have strong family values, and they take it very seriously.
I am a Gadji (non-Rom) person, and I feel that alot of the definitions of "Gypsy" are offensive.

Gypsies
Widely considered to be a racial slur for the Romani people, "Gypsy" (plural: "Gypsies") was used by County Commissioner and surrogate for the Joe Biden campaign, Chris D. Jackson, to refer to protesters who occupied Biden's office. Chris also referred to the protestors as Bernie Sanders supporters (despite the fact that there was no evidence that this was the case) in a possible attempt to get centrists and moderate liberals to vote for Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
"This is how @BernieSanders operates. He sends disrupters to @JoeBiden
events and now he sends a pack of gypsies to his campaign office to cause a scene.
Is this really what you want, Democrats?" - Chris D. Jackson
