I am most encouraged that, while there is disquiet some persons have over the First Lady, she has her defenders here. The biggest laugh about the term Gypsies is from England. The politically correct brigade,decided the word was insulting. They instituted the word "travellers" to designate parasitical wanderers who camped on public parks. The actual Romany descendants objected to the designation "traveller" applied to them.
The joker was that only 5000 to 7000 real Romany exist in England today. The other 90,000 are persons in caravans and campers who never work. They settle on nice parks and leave filth and debris and move on. They get funds from the government, as do the indigent in the city.
The old traditional Gypsies of George Henry Borrow's biographies, like the name Gypsy. They would prefer Romany though.
