[Opinions] Re: Isn't this a slur? (warning: use of racial slurs)
I've never heard of "Pike" / "Pikey" (I'm from England). Is this a regional word?
I've heard of the common "Gypsy" slur, but what is most common where I'm from is "Gyppo".
I say "where I'm from" I mean "from the people around me who actively continue to use racial slurs who are admittedly not many, but are mostly white men over 50". So perhaps the question I should be asking is "is this a new word?"
