Your Definition
A member of a traveling/nomadic people of Indian descent , traditionally living by itinerant trade and fortune telling. They are non-indigenous minoritary communities in Europe , mostly in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Since it was erroneously considered a "racial slur" (due to the fact that many Gypsies tend to be shady individuals(not everyone though) and many of their deeds and conducts may underline that rather stereotypical statement with ease , and thus , their classic designation becomes a negative word) , the word "Gypsy" started to be replaced with "Romani" , a word which has little to no correspondence with them , but it is still used as an alternative nonetheless. (oh and STOP ASSOCIATING THEM with Romanians , pls)
