If you look hard enough for offence you will no doubt find it.
The reason Universities are currently failing in certain countries because they no longer embody that for which the name is meant to represent.
Due to minority factions who have taken control of who, what, why and when subject matters will comply with a pre dictated and ever narrowing view of marginal views of acceptability a University is no longer a place for the wide variety of discussions and debates of universal diverse subjects and students have become indoctrinated into narrow overly protected wokery that fails the students.
To reinterpret Jagex's intent in the made changes into something that is, I'm afraid, imbibing into this whole wokery culture and becomes shameful debacle. Let's keep accusations of racism where it is most needed and not demean the true intent of the word.
As for the word Gypsy...which is still a legal term under English law....
A British House of Commons Committee parliamentary inquiry, as described in their report “Tackling inequalities faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities” (published 2019), stated about their findings in the United Kingdom that: “We asked many members of the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities how they preferred to describe themselves. While some find the term “Gypsy” to be offensive, many stakeholders and witnesses were proud to associate themselves with this term and so we have decided that it is right and proper to use it, where appropriate, throughout the report.”
I know a number of settled Romani people, all are proud to call themselves Gypsy. This is particularly so more in Central and Eastern Europe where the wokery Brigade has not yet infiltrated. It only becomes unacceptable when malicious intent is intended.
