Are you Romani?  As with other terms that are slurs against various
demographic groups, you don't get to decide what's derogatory or
offensive if you're not part of the group.  In many cases (e.g. "queer"
or "nigger"), terms that are acceptable or reclaimed for in-group usage
are still considered derogatory when used by other people.
