    I'll be very happy when the rest of the world realizes that "gypsy" is the pejorative term for the Roma. Please call them what they prefer to be called. They've suffered enough indignities. (Full disclosure: my great-great-grandmother was Roma, but I think it would still bug me that in the 21st century we're still calling them gypsies, even if I wasn't part Roma myself.) #romanpolanski

    The fact that Richard Heene wrote a racist book is even more upsetting and depressing when I remember that his wife is Japanese. #romanpolanski

    @Sputnik_Sweetheart: In one of his YouTube videos, he ranted about women wearing makeup and how it was like false advertising, and then said something about being glad his wife is Japanese. I took it to mean that he was stereotyping Japanese women as subservient. He seems like an asshole all around... #romanpolanski

    @missinaction: I believe he said that a few times. I also took it to mean that a large part of his attraction to her was based on negative stereotypes of Asian women. I feel so badly for his wife. It seems he is incredibly controlling and probably emotional abusive. #romanpolanski

    regarding the yahoo article about ethan hawke and madonna: isn't the term "gypsy" condered to be offensive? i know at least here in germany (where i'm an expat american) the german equivalent of gypsy (zigeuner) is considered to be very un PC and instead the terms "roma and sinti" are used.

    anyway, after looking at the website [www.voiceofroma.com] , particularly this page ([www.voiceofroma.com])

    i'm sort of cringing at the AP's usage of the term gypsy #romanpolanski

    @cbroo: From the other side of the argument--I'm Romanian, born-and-bred--I should tell you that calling gypsies "Roma people" causes any & all Romanians to blow a major fuse.

    The Western media has perpetuated this myth that gypsies as an ethnic minority = "Romanians," which is not only incorrect, but linguistically absurd.

    Etymologically, "Romanian" traces its roots to the adjective "Roman" (Roman empire, etc.) but the description of gypsies as "Roma people" has Southeast-Asian roots.

    "Gypsy," in my view, is much more illustrative. I don't get why it's un-PC. Gypsies do not occupy a nation-state, tethered to a precise land mass; they're a pan-European ethnic group. There are German gypsies, Hungarian gypsies, Romanian gypsies, etc. #romanpolanski

    Remember in the last thread where I suggested that Polanski offer up even MORE cash to make it seem like he was less of a flight risk! Hey, Polanski, I wasn't serious! It was a joke. Because that is a stupid thing to do. You are a huge flight risk and face it, you WILL run away if they let you go. Man up and serve your time! #romanpolanski

    So hey, legal Jez team: Can the LA DA prosecute Polanski separately just for bouncing? I'm asking because LA DA Steve Cooley is an enormous fameball, and somehow I can't picture him letting this sordid Polanski mess reach its denouement without a media circus trial. #romanpolanski

    I wish Thandie Newton would say who this shithead studio head woman is. People should be really proactive in the smoking out of racists. For real, this is why they're still around. No one wants to say anything for fear of being retaliated against (or because they're related to them). And for extra fun, this asshole is a woman (probably white, too). I would think she would know what it is like to be subjugated and treated like less but noooo. She goes ahead and does it to others. She's probably one of those women who thinks she'll get to be in the old boy's club by being an ass to others. #romanpolanski

    @Evie Havok: And she tells Thandie she's different why? Because she's British and her accent makes her sound more "posh" so she "transcends" whatever stereotypes the woman was thinking? It's like Archie Bunker telling Sammy Davis, Jr. that he's a "credit to his race." #romanpolanski

    Polanski couldn't be more transparent. Who makes a "sizable cash bail offer?" It's more like, how much do I have to give you in cash so I can get back to France. #romanpolanski

    As if Boris Johnson wasn't bad enough, we now have the Spice Girls (surely they're too old to be called girls?) getting in on the Olympic bandwagon. I don't I'm going to be able to stand the embarrassment of being English in 2012.... #romanpolanski
