One question I had in the original discussion(s) on FB was whether this was a generational thing, insomuch as, being 45yo, I assume everyone my age and younger believes/is aware that "gypsy" is considered an ethnic slur by some people in that group.
Is that part of this? Did it "used to be" okay?
I mean it's always an adjustment the first time you hear something, I just thought we'd all already processed this one.
