I have not heard the term "gypsy" is an insult. I have heard to say that one gyps someone is an insult. Romani is an intribe name, as far as I know, for an outsider such as us, gypsy has been an acceptable term. I'm going from what my friend-- who is part Romani-Ukrainian says. Seems to me If Anton had advertised these as being part of Romani tribal wear, he might have been wrong-- though the tribes that come from closer to India have clothing as high cut as this at least for dancing, I know, I've bought originals. But he didn't, he advertised it as Gypsies and Genies--since Genies are mythical, I'm assuming that fantasy is just fine. I do wish some people would get a life that was not centered around victimhood. Emily
