Are you aware that the word g*psy is a racial slur? The Romani community have no ties to your photo shoot, so substituting the slur "g*psy" with something like boho or hippy will get your message across without offending a marginalized community of people. You seem like a nice person, so I'm sure you wouldn't want nasty racial slurs attached to your photos when there's an easy solution. Thanks for your time!

I am aware that it can be taken that way and that in history it had a negative connotation, but when not capitalized it means a nomadic way of life- and with this shoot - that is what the photographer was trying to capture and thus they called it that. I do believe that times have changed and that it is no longer viewed as a slur by a majority of people - more of a style and way of life. I do know that the photographer who submitted this work to me in no way intended to be offensive. It is meant as an artistic representation of a style. I’m really sorry if this offended you.
