Yeah, I agree that kind of stuff is over the top. Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't the deaf community as a whole said recently that they prefer "deaf" to "hearing impaired"? I mean, I go past WPSD (Western PA School for the Deaf) frequently, not WPSHI.
I looked at the wikipedia entry on gypsies, and IMO it doesn't ever seem to have been the most complimentary term.
