I apologize if this is offensive but I genuinely don’t know the answer to this. Is gypsy a racial slur? And if it is, is there another word I can use that isn’t offensive?

so gypsy is a term that was used to describe travelers in ireland and england and wales. the romani people roma people were included naturally. people will say now gypsy is a racial slur. i never grew up being told that it's just what we were it's why my mom brother and i are so desperate to move around the country to travel around the world they said. but for the sake of not offending the delicate sensibilities of the gaj we say roma and romani now
