Sounds like you guys hate gypsies therefore being called a gypsy is offensive.

Replace Gypsy with slang for another ethnic group and see how that quote sounds.
I don't see how this doesn't violate the rule -- Calling another player a slang term for an ethnic group.
We ban people for putting German last names in their username, under the racism rule, but this is a stretch?

from what ive read, some, find it offensive, none that i found liken it to the n word and some do not find it offensive.
Gypsy, as in the definition, refers to a people in common language, same as Jewish people even call themselves Jews, its a term for the Jewish people.
The n word is not in common language referring to people, it was a slang word created to name a race of people. The Gypsy term is referencing a people.
So, me be American, if someone called me a Gypsy or a Jew or some other race then i don't see the rush to condemn other than they called me a name, i mean, isn't that like calling me a turd or something?
And, "American" can and has been used in a malicious way, should we go after anyone that does?

we dont ban German last names, we ban or make them change the name a certain few with last names that murdered millions of people, if you cant tell the difference then i guess we got problems with your knowledge.
With your statement, are you calling the Gypsy's inferior or group that needs to be condemned? I sure hope not...

It's a term used for degrading a person and has racist influences, so are people allowed to be racist on HOG because you don't find it offensive while the rest of the world? Because in Romania we don't find the n-word offensive nor any other slurs cuz we don't have a touch with that world, it's clear that Kustom is trying to be offensive using the Gypsy term here.

asking a question, "so are people allowed to be racist on HOG" is a stupid question, as you already know the answer and by you asking that only makes for more argument, which i assume is your goal.
As haley said, you seem to be more upset with the Gypsy people than the term, i googled it in my last post is what i found. You are liking it to the n word because, well, you dont like Gypsy's and dont like being called one, that's how it comes across to us.
