Well Khrys, I don't know what part of the world you're from, but here (UK) Gypsy is still a word in reasonably common use, and it certainly doesn't hold the same connotations as somebody white calling somebody black 'nigger', so setting Anton up using that phraseology wasn't really called for now was it? Going back a few years, to when I used to live further north, we used regularly to have Romany camps on common ground at the back of our houses and while the outfits in Anton's set (and reference material) wouldn't be everyday wear they would come out in the evenings for dancing, partying etc. Kevin.
