Whoopi Goldberg is once again coming under fire for uttering something controversial on The View, and just issued an apology for using an ethnic slur on-air. Last week, the talk show co-host, 67, was speaking about the 2020 presidential election with her co-stars, and said a slur that is commonly used against Romani people.
While discussing the Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels scandal, she referenced “people who still believe that he got gy—d somehow in the election.” After fans on Twitter stressed the importance of not using the slur, Goldberg quickly took to the app to apologize to viewers.

Honestly, I don’t remember that FM song!

When I was a kid in 2nd grade( was taught in a two room school house) our teacher would pull out the piano at least once a week and we would have singing lessons. I can still remember the words to one song we sang
I have followed Gyspsy's.

What? Romani (and Travellers!) are proud of the fact they are rip-off "artistes".

Hey, she’s a Demoncrat. No apology expected by Lame Street Media or any government office.
To: the OlLine Rebel
it must’ve been secret underground, because next thing I know you can’t say you got “gypped” back in the ‘90s. I don't think most people know that, even today. I doubt that most people avoid saying "gypped" on the street. Maybe on social media, which is heavily policed by the mob.

Gypped is a word that is in wide use in the language. About .00001% of the people know that it comes from Gypsy. (Gypsy is another common word, like Eskimo, that no one told us has been added to the list of forbidden ethnic slurs.)
Whoopi didn’t do anything wrong here.
What about “Welch on a bet,” or “Take French Leave.” Are they bad too?

I hope you’re right.
I just seem to recall (before ‘net fora were big) some kind of correction on TV way back.
Of course, no question we were already getting self-conscious paranoid tongue-tied in the ‘90s.
Recall the still-great episode on Seinfeld “Cigar Store Indian”!

How many people really know the origin of that word. It is used so much it is almost ubiquitous.
And after living in Berlin... I kinda don’t feel bad...

EXACTLY so. I never associated that word with gypsies until the politically correct nabobs started shoving that in my face. I still use the word "gypped". It is an English language word, and perfectly fine to use.

There is a summer camp near here to the south for over sixty years. It is known as Gypsy Camp. Oh the Horror!

How about she just apologizes for being a stupid ugly cow and we let the whole gypsy thing slide?
To: Pez149
I am surprised she is only 67. Hatred and stupidity have aged her beyond her time.
