In Canada you can't call a Pakistani a paki. It would be an insult. The moderators would be all over you.

Dix, we are just a little bit short of knowing everything.

Also, in Hungary you have to call the gypsies romas.
Let you know, in case you are going there.

Question

Oh my goodness!! You better tell Justo that! As soon as he "gets rich" he plans a trip for us to Hungary to visit with the gypsies. I am sure knowing Justo, it will take a little time to convince him that he must call gypsies Romas. Why? Is calling them gypsies considered an insult?
Being politically correct is so difficult these days.

They prefer to be called roma. I don't have problem with it. I will tell Justo in time.
Roma means in their language gypsie.
