Calling a Traveller a Gypsy and vice versa is pretty insulting to both, and calling any non-Roma a Gypsy is of course pretty loving bad too (from both sides). Also a lot of Roma now object to the term Gypsy for the same reason black people object to negro and its variations - it might once have been a completely neutral term but it's literally anything but now.

Apparently Eastwood used to ride a horse and cart to training at Southend but maybe that was just made up by racist Essex folk.

Turns out the kid assigned to Ribery had to change his player due to Ribery being uglier than a loving mutant.
