Why don't we capitalize gypsy?

Answer 1

You can if it is at the start of a sentence but there is no need if it is in the middle of a sentence as it'd look wrong, also because you only should capitalize words that are a country, place names..Etc. So that is why we don't capitalize the word "Gypsy" in a sentence, but you can do it when it is like this: Gypsy. By its self or at the front of a sentence. Well you don't "Have" to do it but it is recommended if you want to be good at Punctuation and Capitalization.

Answer 2

The term "Gypsy" is not capitalized because it is considered outdated and offensive to the Romani people, who prefer to be referred to as Roma. Using "Gypsy" perpetuates stereotypes and is associated with historical discrimination and marginalization of the Romani community.
