I do, however have a great friend in Illinois that uses the name Gypsy and is proud to do so. Those trailers are so cute (I want one!) that they remind me of the old Toyota pickup truck I used to have. I lived in it for weeks when traveling throughout the country in the early '90s! Anyway, that's why I linked up to this article. I'm sorry that they used the word 'Gypsy' to describe the people who live in them.

On edit: I got this article confused with another I was reading. This is from CBS. Still, no excuse for the racial slur.
