  • A suggestion would be to say something like this: "Gypsy is a worldwide ethnic group NOT a way of life. The term was mistakenly given to a group of people forced out of India 1000 years ago who were thought to be Egyptian. They are a highly persecuted race and they prefer to be called Romani. They have their own flag and their own language. For more information visit
