I always enjoy these threads when I find a new phrase that I am offended by without even knowing!
Re: D' ya like Dags???
“Nah, I’m not being homophobic. Where I’m from, gay just means bad. So it’s fine to refer to things as gay.”
Re: D' ya like Dags???
Not really the same is it. Pikey is a 100% negative term, like "thief" or "criminal". whereas "gay" is a word that has been misused in a negative way.

Where I’m from Paki’s is just the shop on the corner so it’s fine.

Fair enough, I'm going to stop using the words Pikey or gay in any context.

Mr Akram used to say nothing would happen without “us pakis” as you fuckers never get up early enough when we had to go in and collect the days papers.
There are very few names which can be said without causing some kind of offence so instead of thinking the worst of people, we should all think the best and the world will be a happier place.
Dave!

The BBC's editorial standards committee didn't think 'pikey' was racist: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31922773

That reads more like the BBC making excuses for the Top Gear idiots tbh.
It’s a stretch to assume that people wouldn’t associate pikey with travellers.

Re: D' ya like Dags???
I don't think it is a stretch - even amongst travellers the actual group referred to by the word is not strictly defined and, being slang, the meaning has changed over time.
Enough of this, here's a nice cartoon to relax you.
