ELI5:Why is it totaly socially unacceptable to use all ethnic and racial slurs but the word "Gypsy" seems to be fair game?

Not sure if it's just that people aren't aware of the fact that it's a slur against the Roma or what but I know a lot of people who would never use any racial slur in daily life but seemly have no issue using "Gypsy" to refer to people.

The more representation that group has in your life, the less likely you are to use an insulting slur to describe that group. There just aren't that many Romani people around the vast majority of people in our society to bring it to our attention.

Also, most people don't even know that "gypsy" is a slur. There are plenty of everyday sayings that people don't realize are quite derogatory. It's not a stretch to say that most people don't know the origins of any common adage or saying, regardless of whether or not they are offensive.
