That Weird Costumed Kid

msmonstermouth replied to your post: hello rifa! please don’t take this the wrong way because i am not angry but could you please not use the word “gypsy?” it is considered a slur for romani people

Other cultures have come to accept the word gypsy to relate to fashion sense. Especially in Northern America, gypsy is a form of lifestyle or a type of look, not an ethnicity. Just saying :S

Yay you are way more eloquent at explaining what I mean than I am!

That was more how I was using the word, since I had no thought of actual Romani culture at all when I used it. Either way I didnt mean to offend anyone /shrug
