Michelle Obama used 'racial slur'

Michelle Obama has come under some fire for allegedly using a racial slur during a recent interview.
The First Lady of the USA was being questioned about her experience as a working mother by ABC news reporter Robin Roberts at the White House Summit on Working Families on Monday when she apparently used the term “gypped”.
Speaking about living on a part-time wage, she said: “The first thing I tried to do, which was a mistake, was that I tried the part-time thing… I realised I was getting gypped on that front. “What happened was that I got a part-time salary but worked full-time.”
Derived from the word “gypsy” in reference to the Romani people, “gypped” is often thought of as derogatory term because it means to cheat someone out of something.
A number of media outlets and political blogs, including the Daily Caller, have criticised the First Lady's seemingly light use of the word.
A spokesperson for the First Lady Michelle Obama is yet to respond to a request for comment.
