The timing of this report is perfect, given a recent discussion I had about gadje who continue to call themselves "gypsy" because they romanticize the "gypsy life." some argued with me that it didn't apply in the US because Roma aren't discriminated against here. people believe what they want to believe, i understand that; but, if there is the slightest possibility that a word you choose to use is capable of offending another person, why use it?
