Okay, I'm seeing a lot of this lately so...
Gypsy is a slur
It's not a word for being bohemian, free-spirited, etc. It's a remnant of bigotry against Romani people and those of us in the US can't fully understand its impact.

For some reason, I thought that Bohemian was a type of art form, ot style. Now I feel awkward for having said that I liked the look of Bohemian style things. (Rugs, bags, clothes etc.) D:

Was it ever re-claimed or did it remain solely used as a derogatory term until it was watered down/used like it is now?
