Thank you for giving us your view. I really do appreciate that. I'd much rather hear from someone directly affected than from people speaking on behalf of other people. Many Native Americans prefer the term Indian, for instance, which runs counter to everything PC culture mandates.

I find it interesting you assume that use of gypsies in any media is negative, considering my experience in video games is that they're usually just depicted as traveling people in wagons, and a convenient way for the developers to put a "town" in the middle of nowhere. One of my earliest video game experiences was in Quest For Glory IV, where the gypsies and their culture become very important to the game (and not in a negative way.) So I've never held any kind of negative connotation to the word, which is why it was so shocking earlier when someone earlier in the thread said it was a slur.
