Slur of the Day: An M word for Gypsies

Mustalainen (sing.)/Mustalaiset (pl.)
derived from the Finnish word for “Black”, it is a word for the Finnish Kale – a group of the Romani people that lives primarily in Finland and Sweden. It is nowadays sometimes considered an offensive term, and in common and official context romani is considered more appropriate (see [1]).
