As I’ve been pointing out for quite a few years, the United States is undergoing a revival of superstition and witch-hunting in the name of Anti-Racism. Millions of modern Americans are deeply concerned that a vast secret coterie of White Supremacist Terrorists are signaling to each other on your favorite TV shows.
For example, from Entertainment Weekly:
Over 450 past Jeopardy contestants call on show to address alleged ‘white power’ symbol
By Rachel Yang April 28, 2021 at 09:43 PM EDT
A growing list of more than 450 former Jeopardy contestants are calling for action after a recent winner allegedly flashed a hand gesture
When he was introduced as a three time winner, he held up three fingers to acknowledge his three victories, just as the day before he’d held up two fingers and the day before that, one finger.
that has become associated with white supremacist hate groups, and, in another instance, responded to a clue with a term that is considered a slur.
He apparently answered “Who are the Gypsies?”
In an open letter published to Medium on Wednesday, the group writes, “A recent contestant has caused concern among Jeopardy! viewers for two separate occurrences, and we as former contestants feel the need to speak out against the messaging that these choices communicated — either intentionally or unintentionally — by the contestant Kelly Donohue and, implicitly by association, the producers of Jeopardy!”
On Tuesday’s episode, Donohue made a hand gesture during his on-camera introduction that he later said on social media signified the number three, as he was the three-day champion. In his previous episodes, he gestured with one finger and two fingers in accordance with the number of games he’d won.
But some viewers were struck by Donohue’s specific finger positions, which, according to the open letter, “whether intentional or not, resembled very closely a gesture that has been coopted by white power groups, alt right groups, and an anti-government group that calls itself the Three Percenters.” (According to the Anti-Defamation League, the “‘okay’ hand gesture” began as a hoax but has been used by right-wing trolls and white supremacists.)
The open letter calls on Donohue to publicly apologize “for the ramifications of the gesture he made” and disavow “any connection to white supremacist doctrines,” and urges the show to “address Kelly’s behavior” and take measures to ensure that “future mistakes of this magnitude never make it on air.”
In a since-deleted Facebook post addressing the blowback, Donohue said he just wanted to “count my victories.”
“Many of the great champions of old had a little signature hello they would do on-screen when being introduced by Johnny Gilbert,” he wrote. “I decided to count my victories. That’s a 1. That’s a 2. That’s a 3. No more. No less. There wasn’t a hidden agenda or any malice behind it. Had I managed to repeat as champion, you’d have been treated to a 4.” …
The letter also notes that during Monday’s episode, Donohue responded to a clue with a term for the Roma people that is considered a slur. Although guest host Anderson Cooper noted as much on air, the signatories point out that “other episodes of the show where questionable responses or misspeaking prompted a pause and re-recording of the dialogue.”
They continue, “This probably would have been a good occasion to employ a similar fix. Yes, it may be an innocent or ignorant reply, and yes, it was technically correct.
But if we don’t exterminate usage of “Gypsy” today, how can we cancel people for using “Roma” tomorrow?
But on a television show for an international audience, the impact on a larger stage needs to be taken into account.”
Thus, the former contestants are asking that the writers “remove this word from their vocabulary when it’s not being used in the context of a title of an artwork or a direct quotation.”
With regard to Donohue’s hand gesture, the letter also notes that the Jeopardy production team has in the past taken measures to reshoot or even digitally alter moments deemed unsuitable for broadcast.
Read the full open letter on Medium.

I got on the shoit list to be on jeopardy 25 years ago. Shortly after that they changed the tes because it was selecting too many white males. Now they apparently select for wokeness too.
The only person from my cohort who ended up on the show was the most enthusiastically nerdy and Woke chick I've ever met in person. I think she went to Liberty University, which I found very strange.
I had a swimming coach who was missing an index finger. He probably shouldn’t be able to work since he has a permanent white power symbol on the end of his arm.

Yeesh. It’s pretty amazing how a once-neutral term has been turned into a slur. On several occasions, I’ve had to point out to Woke students that an author using the term “Gypsy” in the 1930s was not engaging in hate speech.
And non-Woke students are simply confused, as most of them have not gotten the memo that the great and the good have decided that Gypsy, like “Negro” and “Oriental”, is a slur that must be purged from the language.
If only White supremacists would start using other words, gestures, and symbols, like the Black Power salute, Mickey Mouse Ears, the Gay Pride Flag, the Black Lives Matter hashtag….

Why do I relate this? Because if "Gypsy" is good enough for Gypsies, it should be good enough for the rest of us. Or does it follow the same rules as that naughty-no-no-big-boo-boo word?
The people pointing out that there's nothing intrinsically "bad" about the word "gypsy" itself are correct, but they're also missing the point. Any word that refers to a [people, thing, concept, whatever] that is viewed negatively will eventually acquire those negative connotations, which are then perceived to be an intrinsic property of the word itself -- which gradually becomes taboo. Sure, the media/ academia co-opt this process to a certain extent, but the underlying phenomenon is organic, and is not one that applies solely to terms that describe particular groups of humans.

I have never heard anyone here use the term Roma and I think the overwhelming majority of Americans would guess Roma are people from Rome. They would have no idea they are gypsies, the same way they would say travelers are, well, travelers. They have no idea that's a term for gypsies used in the UK.
The whole tone of this letter is overwhelmingly Woke. Condemning this guy for not saying Roma is just one example. I think of Jeopardy contestants as smart but not particularly partisan. I never ask myself what their political beliefs are. The letter the former contestants wrote about Dr. Oz was great; this one is the opposite of that.

It is a slur inasmuch as Egyptian is slur. Gypsy is a corrupted word for Egyptian.

I think that was well known by the witch hunters before he threw up a “white supremacist” gang sign.

Looking back, it sounds very antiquated, like 1920s slang or something, so I’m not sure how it persisted among kids in the 90s. I don’t think kids say it anymore.
“Gypsy” seems to be used not infrequently in pop song titles, and I think that’s the full extent of most American’s acquaintance with the term.

No genetic connection to the gypsies from India, but a rather similar lifestyle, so the term is sometimes applied to them. Think of it as convergent evolution -- the "gypsy" lifestyle of these two groups is analogous, but not homologous.

Roma used to claim to be Egyptian pilgrims as a way to score free meals + lodging from Europeans (plus ce change). It’s precisely because the name is mistaken that it can’t be a slur. The worst you can say about it is that is inappropriately appropriative and suggests a casual attitude toward self-identification accuracy among the problem group. It’s long since passed into metaphor and yet Shel Silverstein is getting “canceled” for having “gypsy” in a “poem” way back in the 1970s Stone Age.
Meanwhile feather Indians want to be called “Indians”—but that’s owing to the legal advantages of that mislabel as much as anything else.
Yes, Victor McLaglen played Gippo Nolan in The Informer. Irish travelers were called Tinkers or Gippos when I was a boy. They’re completely Irish, ethnically.
The Roma sound like they are the folk who live in Rome. I believe the Eye-talians call it Roma, but I could be wrong.
Also, Roma is likely offensive. Wikipedia has them listed as Romani. So…
I have no doubt that ‘Gypsy’ has negative connotations. It is a slur because of the behavior of the Gypsies! The Gypsies, Europe’s first Asian immigrants, are terrible people! You know how you hear about the Holocaust as the worst thing ever? Well, there was another people the Nazis tried to eliminate. The Gypsies. You never hear about it as being a bad thing because nobody misses them. There were no occupations the practitioners of which were hard to come by. No one had nice neighbors that they missed. No one risked his life to save Gypsies.
Speaking of that, you always hear about how the Jews were x% of Germany’s doctors, y% of its lawyers, and z% of its bankers. You never hear any stories about how lawyering and doctoring and financing were hard to get once the Jews were gone. Was it a case of overproduction of the elites? Were formerly dung covered German peasants coming up in the professions, and seeing their path upwards blocked? You also don’t hear about Germans fighting each other in the streets once the Jews were gone… I know the official story is, ‘then for no reason at all, the Germans elected Hitler,’ but there are always reasons peopke dislike each other, and I know Jews weren’t angels. How do I know that, you ask? I know that because they were people.
Back to or non-Roman, non-Romanian Roma friends, what is the point of running the euphemism treadmill? Roma will soon have all the connotations Gypsy has now. All that will happen is some tourists in Europe will get robbed/scammed because they didn’t realize the Roma were actually goddamn Gypsies.
It’s like the convo I had.
Me: …it’s a racial slur, like ‘African-American.’
Interlocutor: ‘African-American’ isn’t a racial slur.
Me: Huh? It is when I say it.

I know, I know, the real point of the euphemism treadmill is to make the people who don’t run it look like dicks. The faithful use it to know their own. Today, in the age of Twitter, and that perversion of a monstrosity, Black Twitter, the point of changing the words is to cancel people. Idiot becomes moron becomes retarded becomes special.

Forgot to mention, I had a friend from back in the day who move to Pittsburg. Ended up getting a job with a Gypsy used car dealership. They said he was a something-gaje, which apparently meant an okay guy. I lost touch with him, but always thought that was what they told people before they scammed the hard. Apparently, cheating people over horses transferred really well to cheating people over cars, and there are lots of Gypsies in the road-proven car dealership biznis.
I kinda wonder if the used car dealer reputation isn’t due mostly to Gypsies.

I grew up in the 90s, and I remember "gypped" was a slang term in elementary/middle school, as in "I got gypped" if you made a bad baseball card trade or something and got ripped off. I and none of my fellow classmates and friends knew what the origin of the slang was. Looking back, it sounds very antiquated, like 1920s slang or something, so I'm not sure how it persisted among kids in the 90s. I don't think kids say it anymore.
"Gypsy" seems to be used not infrequently in pop song titles, and I think that's the full extent of most American's acquaintance with the term. One of the most popular songs of the 90s was the house anthem "Gypsy Woman" which everyone's heard some variation of via commercials, in stores, on TV, etc.

I have never heard anyone here use the term Roma and I think the overwhelming majority of Americans would guess Roma are people from Rome. They would have no idea they are gypsies, the same way they would say travelers are, well, travelers. They have no idea that’s a term for gypsies used in the UK.
The whole tone of this letter is overwhelmingly Woke. Condemning this guy for not saying Roma is just one example. I think of Jeopardy contestants as smart but not particularly partisan.

Gypsy story Hungarian told me. The communist government built the gypsies big apartment and townhouse developments with stores and schools. The idea was to give them a place to live basic welfare and food Maybe they would stay in their compound.
Even though they had welfare the gypsies ripped up theirs own homes to sell the building materials . Stoves sinks bathtubs toilets light fixtures light sockets . They tore up the walls for copper wire. Sold cupboards closet shelves and hooks everything Even removed the linoleum from the floors and sold it Now that is a hard job scraping the mastic underneath without cutting the Lino constantly sharpening the scraper all crouched down. Gypsies aren’t lazy
Strange thing it was their own houses they tore up. It’s reasonable to tear out building materials from some one else’s house. But your own?

Gypsies are real, and “gypsies” is the real name for them.
“Roma” is a name they use to confuse people. They are NOT Romanians, and they have no relation whatsoever to any Roman people or to any Europeans. Their ancestors migrated to Eastern Europe centuries ago from the Indian sub-continent, and they have been a problem ever since. They have always deliberately resisted any and all efforts to integrate them.
They are pickpockets, beggars and thieves. They are parasites.
They are gypsies. “Gypsy” is a real, legitimate word used by everyone in the countries where gypsies live and steal and pick garbage. I have seen enough gypsies myself and witnessed enough of their behavior to know.

In the early years of the 16th century there began to appear in Britain some members of a wandering race of people who were ultimately of Hindu origin and who called themselves and their language Romany. In Britain, however, it was popularly believed that they came from Egypt, so they were called Egipcyans or Egyptians. This was soon shortened to Gipcyan, and by 1600 the further altered form Gipsy, Gypsey, began to appear in print. By later in the 1600s the verb gypsy, meaning “to live like a Gypsy” began to be used.Replies: @Spect3r

We hear about gypsies – sorry, Romani – from time to time over here. Mostly scamming people with fake gold and fake stories. Some of them can be seen and heard in the larger cities in the summertime, torturing accordions for cash.
Back in the eighties they would visit small mechanic or machine shops and offer to regrind (and re-harden) all kinds of cutting tools, promising the results would be “better than new!”
One of my bosses exclaimed that all they did was “p*ssing on the tools in a dark forrest”.
Anyway, tungsten carbide and cheap Chinese tooling put an end to that.

The ADL thrives on bullshit and hoaxes and made-up stuff. It then labels any talk about morally unpleasant things in which Jews are involved as “antisemitic”. “Antisemitic” nowadays means there is someone out there writing about unpleasant exploitative shit going on involving Jews.
For example, writing about throwing Palestinians out of their houses to make place for settler containers is “antisemitic”. Even though Palestinians are semitic.

No genetic connection to the gypsies from India, but a rather similar lifestyle, so the term is sometimes applied to them. Think of it as convergent evolution — the “gypsy” lifestyle of these two groups is analogous, but not homologous.

Hey, at least he didn’t say anything about the “High-functioning Gypsies.”
That kind of “euphemism treadmill” is mostly aimed at White shitlibs, anyway. They need to stay on top of it to signal that they’re fashionable/ high status/ better than those badwhytes. A slipup can be very… problematic for them. It’s not really that critical for non-Whites, so they probably don’t worry about it nearly as much.
The people pointing out that there’s nothing intrinsically “bad” about the word “gypsy” itself are correct, but they’re also missing the point. Any word that refers to a [people, thing, concept, whatever] that is viewed negatively will eventually acquire those negative connotations, which are then perceived to be an intrinsic property of the word itself — which gradually becomes taboo. Sure, the media/ academia co-opt this process to a certain extent, but the underlying phenomenon is organic, and is not one that applies solely to terms that describe particular groups of humans.

Just another attempt by blacks and their woke allies to make it seem as if blacks had any role in creating what was once a great city.
They’ll do the same thing to every great northern city that they have ruined.
Wokedom has all the characteristics of a gigantic cult according to Robert J Lifton’s ‘eight criteria for thought reform (ie brainwashing). Note that #8, ‘dispensing of existance’, is ‘usually not literal’, except of course when it is, ie Pol Pot’s Cambodia, Jim Jones early woke autonomous zone Jonestown, Red China, and the Soviet Union, etc.
They’ve been propagating ‘good whites’ and ‘bad whites’ for some time, too, in places you might not immediately expect. Good Whites who follow the cult and submit willingly to Black rule, while they still ought to be imprisoned and will be at times on whim, will be tolerated but only as subjugated second class citizens/serfs.
Bad Whites, ie those who disagree in any meaningful way with the program, have no right to life, or anything else.
An example of imprisoned ‘good Whites’ below with a token Black. The White guy up front had accidently said the ‘n-word’, the word ‘no’, which was forbidden for Whites to say.
Warlike and violent Bad Whites below, who are mutants and not even really human, and have no right to life.

Gitano is Spanish and Italian. In Portuguese is Cigano, which in non woke PT/EN dictionary comes as Gipsy, sometimes Gipsy/Roma People.
Woke dictionaries tend to say the translation is “Roma People”, but then go on to provide most examples as gipsy LMAO

The Fat Slags would be lower class chavs, not Gypsies. . Felix is too far removed from the social realism of the other two strips to make such a call.
There are plenty of reasons why “hoe” would be a wrong answer; no need to bring PC into it. “Hoe” would have been a great gag answer on Hollywood Squares, though.
