Gypsy is a misnomer. It comes from the word "Egyptian" and it was used under English Law to describe anyone who didn't have a home. Many ethnic Irish, Scots, and English were labeled by courts as "Gypsies" because they were homeless, and some were sent to America as slaves.
Roma is the proper term for "ethnic Gypsies".
