I’m surprised to see it spelled romany instead of Romani, and also suprized to see them use the term gypsy so much- most folks I know generally consider it a slur.

I wonder if the y vs i is a British vs American thing. Also curious if gypsy may be an increasingly reclaimed term. I know here in the US a lot of folks are hesitant to call native populations Indians, but have heard folks more knowledgeable than myself say the term is more and more common the closer you get to reservations, including being used by the folks living on them.

I personally dont know any folks who might identify with either the term Romani or gypsy so it’s hard to know if this article is a good representation of how folks like to be referred to, but it’s interesting to see my assumptions challenged if nothing else 🤷‍♂️ I have to hope it’s not just a whole article of language many find racially demeaning
