And I&#8217;m really, really sorry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Multiple Twitter users commented how they were unaware that &#8220;gypped&#8221; was an offensive word. But here&#8217;s why the term should be retired.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gypsy&#8221; is a word that&#8217;s been used to describe the Romani people. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/gypped\" data-ylk=\"slk:Merriam-Webster;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">Merriam-Webster<\/a> defines being &#8220;gypped&#8221; as being cheated, defrauded or swindled, and notes, regarding its etymology, that it is &#8220;probably short for gypsy.&#8221; For years, some have casually used the word to describe when they&#8217;ve received less than they paid for, or if they&#8217;ve gotten something stolen. Obviously, &#8220;gypped&#8221; doesn&#8217;t have the best connotation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I encounter a lot of people who tell me that they never knew the word &#8216;gypped&#8217; had anything to do with gypsies, or that it&#8217;s offensive \u2014 especially when the word is heard not read,&#8221; University of Texas at Austin professor Ian Hancock, who was born in Britain to Romani parents, explained to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/codeswitch\/2013\/12\/30\/242429836\/why-being-gypped-hurts-the-roma-more-than-it-hurts-you\" data-ylk=\"slk:NPR;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">NPR<\/a> in 2013. &#8220;My response to them is, &#8216;That&#8217;s okay. You didn&#8217;t know but now you do. So stop using it. It may mean nothing to you, but when we hear it, it still hurts.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg came under fire last year for offensive comments she made about the Holocaust. On an episode of <em>The View<\/em> in Jan. 2022, the longtime moderator <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/whoopi-goldberg-returns-the-view-suspension-holocaust-comments-172002750.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:was suspended;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp yahoo-link\">was suspended<\/a> for declaring the genocide was &#8220;not about race,&#8221; but about &#8220;white supremacy&#8221; and &#8220;man&#8217;s inhumanity to man.&#8221; Goldberg&#8217;s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:5;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/whoopi-goldberg-draws-criticism-claiming-233125405.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:first apology attempt;cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp yahoo-link\">first apology attempt <\/a>was not well-received.<\/p>\n<p>In a December interview, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-i13n=\"cpos:6;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/whoopi-goldberg-apologizes-says-she-believes-holocaust-was-about-race-after-reigniting-controversy-235448680.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:she seemingly doubled down;cpos:6;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp yahoo-link\">she seemingly doubled down<\/a> on her beliefs. However, the <em>Till<\/em> star quickly issued an explanation saying the whole thing was a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Recently while doing press in London, I was asked about my comments from earlier this year. I tried to convey to the reporter what I had said and why, and attempted to recount that time,&#8221; Goldberg said in a statement to Yahoo Entertainment at the time. &#8220;It was never my intention to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear as if I was doubling down on hurtful comments, especially after talking with and hearing people like rabbis and old and new friends weighing in. I&#8217;m still learning a lot and believe me, I heard everything everyone said to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg continued: &#8220;I believe that the Holocaust was about race, and I am still as sorry now as I was then that I upset, hurt and angered people. My sincere apologies again, especially to everyone who thought this was a fresh rehash of the subject. I promise it was not. In this time of rising antisemitism, I want to be very clear when I say that I always stood with the Jewish people and always will. My support for them has not wavered and never will.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
