Mekong Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Not Gypsies but Travelers. While gypsy is a generic term used to refer to wandering tribes that contain many ethnicities within themselves, travelers happen to be nomadic people belonging to Ireland and Scotland. Gypsies are believed to have arrived in Europe from Indian subcontinent in the 16th century. In India, they are referred to as banajara people.

bust Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Aren't they referred to as "White Gypsies?" I find calling them "Travelers" would indicate some form of civility. They possess none whatsoever. Take away the label....absolute pieces of shit 99% of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Very common name amongst them hence the reason a slang term for Irish is “Mick” more common than Pat / Patrick where Paddy comes from. You need a “Mikey the Pikey” T-Shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
