Samir potvrđuje da njegov narod koristi taj termin, i da se on oštro ne protivi ni da drugi to čine, pod uslovom da namjera nije da se nekog omalovažava. "Ciganin", objašnjava Samir, "prvobitno je značilo 'prljav - ne diraj'".
Samir acknowledges that his people use the term, and that they do not object strenuously to others doing so as long as the intent is not to disparage. “Gypsy", Samir explains, "originally meant 'dirty - do not touch'".
