Louvre 468 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 So G*psy has started to become a derogatory term towards Romani people. A lot more people are starting to realize its not a great thing to say, P!nk even talked about it when she was in a recent Ellen interview and how she had found out that word can be offensive. Do you think that people in a couple years could look at Gaga's song and consider it to be offensive? I know that Gaga was not trying to offend anyone obviously but I've already seen some people on Instagram talking about how that song is offensive. What do you all think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mucinex 4,260 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 i don't think she'd remove ANOTHER song off of ARTPOP but she'd definitely acknowledge it & apologize if it became that big of a scandal + people were talking about that when the album came out. i'm sure Gaga HAS to know it's offensive by now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

River 91,032 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 In music Gypsy became a word that describes a free spirit/a traveler/somone with a home that moves from place to place. It's not about the people but about their way of life, so I don't see it as racist. If you want to see a real racism against the Roma, go to Europe.

Zander 14,817 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 But a Gypsy is commonly known as "a member of a travelling people traditionally living by itinerant trade and fortune telling" or "a nomadic or free-spirited person." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
