It offends some people, and its another one of the 'political correctness' things.
whats wrong with the word "p.aki"?
whats wrong with the word "n.igger"?
Agreed. But pick on that, not the fact they are a traveller.
what has "political correctness" got to do with it? What does "political correctness" even mean? How is it relevant?
Good luck finding a traveller with money.
Blagsta, some communities deserve the abuse they get. The travelling community is one such community. Until they learn some manners and clean up after themselves (latest cost to Gateshead Council: £50,000) they deserve no respect at all.
Sure, its not all of them, but compare the number of travellers who live decently on land they're allowed to be on to the number who trawl in, leave syringes and filth all over any public space they can find, and then let decent taxpaying people foot the bill.
Are you serious? Gypos are fucking loaded.
And there's nothing worng with calling them gypos, cos that's what they are.
That was Blag's point.
Course they are.
but good luck finding one that has legitimate money you can trace;)
oh fuck off. some travellers are shitty, some aren't. same as any other community
Sorry, when was that acceptable?
gypo is derogatory, always has been. same as p.aki always has been
Fuck off ya gypo
In my experience, travellers are a hard breed, get on the wrong side of them and they'll give ya a right beating. Get on the right side and they're charming people.
Well it might be ok in your book, but that doesn't make it any less racist.
Romany people are an ethnic group, and to give them slang offensive names like gypo is clearly racist and derogatory. Plenty of ignorant people don't understand why the word p.aki is offensive as it's just an abbreviation of Pakistani...but they're wrong.
Sorry, when was that?
I know its not nice, but you wont get anything out of them and theyll probably make your life a misery for it.
