odd they both have different definitions not all meaning the same thing.

Your definitions support what I'm saying. Are you reading the same language I am? The secondary meanings are dependent on the initial meaning.
Your arguments are flimsey at best regarding the "white Gypsie bit". The people closest in circumstance are the Jews. Like the Gypsies, they had no homeland, were persecuted and killed by the Nazis (in a Gypsie holocaust), and lived all over Europe.
Just as you could have a Hungarian Jew, or a Russian Jew, so could you have a Spanish Gypsie or French Gypsie for example.
I believe the famous guitarist Django Reinhardt was a Gypsie.
Thiefprowess, you need to get a grip mate. Your statements regarding religion are as said way out of line and totally uncalled for.
As for taking the thread offtopic, that is the flow of human conversation. That was one element that got picked up on. By bringing up that it seems like you're determined to try and prove me wrong about anything instead of chilling out. What do you care? To you it's a game. To a Gypsie it's who they are.
As for what nationality I am, I'm Australian. An Australian with a hatred of racism. Quite a normal kind of hatred in Australia.
Ironically in my Anglo-Celtic family, one distant ancestor was allegedly a Gypsie from Spain. [img]smile.gif[/img] I'd forgotten about that actually.
Thanks to you guys that expressed support. [img]smile.gif[/img] Maybe we could get a petition going to get them to change it before a lawyer gets involved. (Bad news) A simple patch would do it right?
