BREAKING NEWS
Common sense reveals that there is no correlation between self-respect and whether or not you show your tits on the internet or how many people you sleep with.
That’s why hating ass “nice” girls and sexist assholes can suck it.

Just a thought… It is interesting to see that DEAF people can function in the hearing world very well while hearing people cannot function well in the DEAF world.

I think a racist slur would do me good right about now

Fucking Pagans and new agers.

how is “gypsy” a racist slur!? over-sensitive much! hahaha you have to call a cat a cat and not a dog!
Oh no you did fucking not.
Why gypsies are not the magical whimsical beings you think they are
You are lying about the Rroma and other wanderers commonly called gypsies by pretending they’re this Disney version you’re so used to.
You’re not using the term correctly. You’re romanticizing real people, completely ignoring their struggles and with absolutely no knowledge of their history.
Which gypsies were you talking about? The Rromani people? The Dom people? The Banjara, Irish travellers, or the Yeniche people? Do you know the difference between these groups?
Have you learned anything about the gypsies? Or are you just using this word without any knowledge of its past, the hate that is behind it, and the racism these people have faced?
I do know gypsies aren’t the romanticised Disney portrayal. There was a documentary on the BBC called “My big fat gypsy wedding”. This documentary took us behind the scenes of the Romani and the Irish Travellers of Britain. Not only did it focus on the wedding/finding a partner of the people but also the real life struggles they face day to day because of not being welcome where ever they decide to go/settle.
I probably don’t know as much as you do about them, but i wouldn’t say i’m ignorant. I would appreciate if you could enlighten me about why “gypsy” is a racial slur, i understand if it was gypo or pike, but to my knowledge Gypsy is acceptable.
United States
Law enforcement agencies in the United States hold regular conferences[81] on the Romani people and similar nomadic groups. It is common to refer to the operators of certain types of travelling con artists[82] and fortune-telling[83] businesses as “gypsies,” as the term in the United States has come to designate any peoples with a nomadic lifestyle rather than a specific ethnic group. Additionally, a common derogatory phrase in the US is to “be gypped,” as in “I was gypped” or “he gypped me,” meaning that someone executed a bad deal or took money that he was not entitled to take.

Either you’re using the term gypsy to clump together different nomadic groups to romanticize them (which is racist!) or you’re using it to call someone a dirty thieving gypsy. The OP was doing the former. Both are racist.

KRISTEN: So the day of my birthday we’re sitting in the living room and we hear a knock at the door, and he [Dax] says, “Your present’s here, why don’t you go grab the dogs and go in the back room.” And I had no context for knowing what it was. But I grab the dogs, walk into the back room of the house, and I was immediately overcome and I thought there’s a sloth here. There’s a sloth here, it’s close, it’s gonna happen! And I didn’t know how to process that because my entire life had been waiting for this moment where I would get to interact - I’m serious! - with a sloth. And I, first thing you should know about me: if I’m not between a 3 and a 7 on the emotional scale, I’m crying. If it’s too sad, if I’m too excited. Always. […] So I am sitting on my bed knowing that a sloth is here. I start to have a full-fledged panic attack. I don’t know how to compete with all this emotion so I just kind of crawl up on the bed and I’m crying so hard and Dax knocks on the door and he has a video camera like, “SURPRISE! I want you to come out into the — are you alright?!” And sees me basically fetal on the bed.
ELLEN: I think you brought a little footage of that, I cannot wait to see it.
KRISTEN: I did. It’s worth watching ‘cause it’s embarrassing, so we can take a look.
