Joe Marler has been cited for calling one of the Welsh players a gypsy boy. Can someone please explain what is wrong with that?

OK, sorry, he was cited for thumping somebody. I thought that was what rugby players do from time to time.
However, there's a big hoo-hah about him calling Samson Lee, who is proud of his heritage, a gypsy boy. What is wrong with that when he undoubtedly is?
Would it have been more serious racial abuse if he'd called him a Welsh gypsy boy?

Pakki and Chincki are and Postie and scrappie arent

and altho Joe Marler has been criticised for the using the term Samson Lee has apparently not complained
