When I was a server, I was told by one of my customers that calling them "gypsies" is like calling a black person the "n-word." This was after he'd overheard one of my fellow servers using the word.
But I think the group that lives near this area are referred to as "Irish Travelers" so I don't know if that is the same thing or not.
