We lived off base in a small town and there was a gypsie camp on the outskirts, there was a fair amount of tension between the two groups. As an aside, "gypsie" is now a no no word, in the UK they call the "travelers" now.
This is why I used Romani when I was referring to them. Though not all "travelers" are Romani, that is the ethnic group most associated with them.
