The Difference Between Gypsy and Romany
It's important to understand the distinction between the terms "Gypsy" and "Romany". While the term "Gypsy" has been commonly used to refer to the Romani people, it is actually considered a derogatory and inaccurate term. On the other hand, "Romany" is the proper and respectful way to refer to the ethnic group.
By using the term "Romany", we honour the rich culture, history, and traditions of the Romani people. It shows respect and recognition for a community that has faced marginalization and discrimination for centuries.
