3. That perhaps the use of "gypsy" as a term isn't as bad as non-Roma

traveling to various dances to the widespread persecution of an
ethnicity (the worst being the Holocaust).
Maybe you do. No one else uses such bizarre logic.
You happen to be wrong about that. Any time you're tempted to use
"nobody" or "everyone" when talking about people, you're almost
certainly
wrong.
