As I said, I'll post my reply. Those two arguments are defenseless. It may be a game, it may be fiction, but in character startup it says (paraphrased) "The Gypsy....makes his way by illegal means, often crossing thieves guilds on his way through"
A racist statement due to the Gypsy being a factual race regardless of the games setting.
Let's say I have a game set in "Normplianda".
I have two professions. The Spaniard, and the Amerikan.
The Spaniard makes his way with religious conviction. Persecuting those he disagrees with and killing locals for their silver.
The Amerikan though powerful is ignorant of others cultures. Ignoring local laws he steps on his smaller adversaries for the slightest provokation.
How would you feel?
