Hi Neil! I'm not the anon who asked, but I know that a lot of people don't know that g*psy is a slur - I didn't until a few years ago. I wasn't trying to be cruel. I genuinely didn't know that it was even referring to a different ethnicity. I thought it was synonymous with being a nomad or a traveling salesperson or traveling performer. So to help out for future anons, I was wondering if you could please put together some resources on the Romani people and their culture/history? Thank you.
Sure thing! Hopefully these links here could help:
