[Ireland]

I've never met someone - Romani descendant or not - that feels like it's the equivalent of the "n" word, not currently at least. =\

We have to explain to 99% of people the history behind it but everyone calls us Gypsies because no one knows what the Romani are.

Nowadays, the culture is loved and admired (like people like me, I guess).

But if it is that offensive to others then I must change it. I do not wish to cause issues.
