WHERES THE OUTRAGE? Michelle offers her own offensive non-PC phrase... and no one takes her to the mat! While describing her efforts to succeed as a working mother, Obama noted that she initially attempted to work a part-time job. “I realized I was getting gypped on that front,” she maintained. While the original ABC report of her comments failed to mention it, a number of other sources explained the term ‘gyp’ is widely considered a slur against the Romani people. As the Daily Caller pointed out, the word is derived from ‘gypsy,’ itself a derogatory term for the group, which suggests the use of fraud or thievery to achieve a goal. The site compares its use to similarly offensive phrases such as ‘Jewed down’ or ‘Indian giver.’
