There are one million Roma people in the US. The term 'gypsies' to refer to them is discriminatory. Some of them may read tarot cards and some of these tarots readers may be a fraud. Like, as we all know well here, many so-called psychics are a fraud. Do not use the term 'gypsy' in a derogatory way to simply indicate a fraudulent reader that happens to be (maybe) a Romani.
Accents? Depends how old they are. The older ones who migrated from Europe likely have the accent of the country they lived prior to coming to the US. The younger generations born here: regional American accent. Like kids born here from immigrant parents, even if bilingual, they're native speaker in English.
So, if this Cynthia is not her 70s-80s, she likely has a regional accent. And if she's a fake reader it's not because of her ethnicity.

Im kinda confused. Where im from gypsy is a term used to describe those who are nyc corners begging to read palms i never knew it as being derogatory...most of the gypsy ones i was approached by were almost always indian decent. To me the term points toward fake more than ethnicity but they also put on fake voices and say things to lure u in and are in tourist areas etc ...i didnt even know it was a Romanian term ....?

Not 'Romanian'. Romani (or Roma). The origin of the Romani people is not 100% known, but it seems they started from India. It's an ethnic group, commonly known as 'gypsies'. They often beg for money, yes, but mostly do so in Europe, here in the US they are more integrated into the community.
Are the people you describe really 'gypsies', that is, Roma people, of course, I don't know.
But yes, for the Roma people, being referred to as gypsies is derogatory (like using the N.. word to define African Americans).
Just google and you'll learn more.

I understand wat youre saying but u cant be mad at something a person is unaware of. I hardly know anyone from Romania and its my first time getting this information. She probably didnt mean it as derogatory so dont jump to conclusions and insinuate racism or discrimination. As a black woman i know alot about both those words so i dont need to google it. She also apologized to you or anyone else when she wrote that statement. You have informed the forum of how u feel now leave it be. No one meant harm to Romanians but again where im from gyspies was used to describe palm reading beggers that were fakes. The N wrd is no comparison to gypsy. Thats a another story tho. I thought she was stating her opinion about cynthia...how the hell did it come to this?! Wow

Thank you Natashanyc, first of all, I don't know where Cynthia is from, I don't care about her background, I’m just referencing her dishonest practice if the coat fit, you may wear It, this is my own opinion of her as a reader, when I made that comment it had a lot to do with the roadside reader who scams me years ago, they wanted me to go empty a joint account of 40k to remove a. curse, it started with a $1,000 so if you have not had personal experience with such things, please don't Judge, I don't care if the person is black, white, yellow but I do believe in karma and she's getting what she deserves. They go on these websites and ripe people off, where is the blessing in that? If Cynthia worked for you, that fine but I had to state my experience and how I felt about.
I don't care much when predictions font happen but I get very upset when people make up stories like she threatens to take her life.
