I think a little gypsy magic would do me good right about now. :)

I think a racist slur would do me good right about now
Fixed that for you
Fucking Pagans and new agers.
Just fuckjaskdjfhaskdjfh

how is “gypsy” a racist slur!?  over-sensitive much! hahaha you have to call a cat a cat and not a dog!

Oh no you did fucking not.
Why gypsies are not the magical whimsical beings you think they are
You are lying about the Rroma and other wanderers commonly called gypsies by pretending they’re this Disney version you’re so used to.
You’re not using the term correctly. You’re romanticizing real people, completely ignoring their struggles and with absolutely no knowledge of their history.
Which gypsies were you talking about? The Rromani people? The Dom people? The Banjara, Irish travellers, or the Yeniche people? Do you know the difference between these groups?
Have you learned anything about the gypsies? Or are you just using this word without any knowledge of its past, the hate that is behind it, and the racism these people have faced?
