Gypsy is hate speech, they're actually called Sinti and Roma! So, call them Romani rather than gypsy. It's basically similarly to n-word, meaning it's an exonym so a name not chosen themselves, but by those around them in order to exclude them. They have a long history of persecution, from having been enslaved to actually being committed genocide against by the Nazi regime (along with jews, communists, homosexuals, people with disabilities, and ofc political opposition) but they're commonly left out of the narrative. Their origin is from India, are part of the indo-european language family (the name Romani comes from sanscrit) and are currently present on almost every continent.
