Like I said, more into the crusade than the dance. While we're at it, more offensive terms that may need replacing: Chain - represents slavery Cast(e) - discrimination affecting a billion Indians Swing - derogatory term for swapping sexual partners. I notice that in quotes from the original complainant who spurred this subject, he never claimed to be Roma himself, and it was a little unclear whether he was more offended by just the term gypsy, or the implication that same-gender gypsies would be flirting with each other.
