Heard the word Gypsy is a racial slur. I'm not sure why that is.

The word Gypsy has been used in a derogatory way for centuries, originally referring to the Traveling people who identified as Romani. Today, it is widely accepted that using the term to refer to someone of Romani heritage is offensive, due to the long history of discrimination against this community. The term has been considered a racial slur since the 1950s, and its usage is discouraged due to its association with negative perceptions and stereotypes.
