I think what you said there says more about you than it does about me - but I guess it's an individuals choice not use non-racist people
Yes, you are of course correct, I still use the term Gypsy when I see a Gypsy, and am therefor a racist. ETA: And it was a funny thread, until Alf Garnett jumped in

Aren't Gypsies now recognised as an ethnic minority .... and isn't making an ethnic minority the butt of a joke now considered somewhat racist?
[Squiggs]Actually it's discrimination based on ethnicity that is "racist", being a minority doesn't have anything to do with it.
[/Squiggs]
Weirdly picking on a hereditary genetic marker that affects appearance somehow isn't racist, which is why ginger bashing is still OK.
Calling whities "honky" is racist, but no one seems to mind, or at least no one who won't get told to grow up.

My first thought was that it could be some kind of trick to get me to stop and help the dogs whilst a gypsy jumps out the bush.
The only logical explanation.What would the gypsy do after he/she jumped out the bush?

I don't recall the renowned gypsy expert Thelma Madine mentioning any of this on 'Gypsy Weddings'!
You haven't see next weeks episode then "my big fat gypsy bum sex"? It is a late substitution to the planned "my big fat gypsy christening" now that the OP has revealed the community secret.

Right. I've got a badger. Does anyone know where I can find a cabinet (preferably without a badger glued to it)?
Do you still have the badger? I only ask because I'm sitting in the bushes outside your house and I just saw thisGassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
