Now I'm just remembering being way too young to watch the Music Video for "Don't Come Around Here No More", and being mortified when Alice is suddenly a cake (though with a human head) being sliced and served to everyone.

Honestly I don't think I (or many other folks) had the slightest idea that word was even the tiniest bit objectionable as recently as that song was released. Everyone should absolutely be willing to learn and move on from it, but I think it had such an absence of cultural knowledge in the US that there was zero ill intent for a lot of folks here.

Most americans think romani people are a kind of old-world fairy tale creature, like one of the million billion kinds of fairies or something. I bet a lot of Americans would be surprised to find out they're real

I think in the US "gypsy" is thought of as referring to a lifestyle rather than a people - people think it's something you choose to become rather than a derogatory misnomer for the Rromani ethnic group. It certainly caught me by surprise when I learned as a teenager that the term referred to Rromani people, and I suspect a lot of people in the US who use the term casually aren't so much indifferent as ignorant. This is not to excuse their use of the term, just to explain it - I certainly think "free-spirit" white women should find another term to describe themselves.

Also there's probably a whole lot of people who aren't aware that the slang word "gypped" is derogatory. Then again maybe they do, people also used to say "jewed" in pretty much the same context

You can still be openly horrible to romani here in the very progressive and stable UK. Like, nothing is too much. Even refugees get let hate. It's basically the same as it was decades ago.

It's basically the same as it was decades ago. Yeah, it's impossible to underemphasize how anti-romany hate is present across the whole political spectrum. Even solidly left-leaning people still go on about thieving pikeys. Part of the current Tory government's manifesto was basically "oh and we are gonna ethnically cleanse travellers"

Been a joke for a while that Europeans will go on about how racist Americans are but go from zero to hitler in the blink of an eye when you bring up roma.

I work with a couple of Bulgarians who went to university in Scotland, generally very liberal and fair minded. But at the same time supported measures in Bulgaria for you to need a certain level of education to vote. When pointed out this is just to disenfranchise the Roma they were both just 'Good! They're all criminals who'll just vote to give themselves more benefits!'

This happens in the UK. Gypsy and Pikey are commonly used against ethnically Irish/British travelling communities
