Did I say you couldn't use the word 'traveller'?
I don't think I did...

The term 'Pikey' is considered by many as a racist slur. It is NOT ok to use the word.

Sorry - you're quite right. I got confused when you wrote
"You're not a traveller, you have no right to use that term."

I don't see how travelling is a race, though - a bit like Judaism.

When you say 'by many'
I presume you mean by you, and by pikeys. Neither of whose opinion I care about.

Fuck pikeys - jobless chancers with zero respect for other people's property. As for it being 'racist' - the term comes from the tendency of certain unspecified social/economic groups to aggregate at turnpikes. Which makes it... locationist? I don't think they actually evolved into a separate race while they were there...
