Europeans when asked to call Romani people anything other than a slur

Had a pretentious friend correct me on the pronounciation of Ibiza and Barcelona, stating the locals say it the way he said it. I held my tongue, and steered the conversation to other things.
He mentioned Germany, and with the arrogance and smarm of a thousand reddit liberals, I hit him with, "Actually, the locals pronounce it as: DOOOOYtchLANnnn." Saying it as obnoxiously and with as much spit and I could fling.
If it ever happens in the future, make sure to hit them with a “that’s not how it’s said in Catalan”.
Be damned if an American is gonna lecture me on anything, let alone like this.
Wtf I’m literally Puerto Rican YER A FUCKING BRIT YOU DON’T KNOW SPANISH, STOP LISPING ANGLO
The Spanish dialect closest to them does the “lisping”, in fairness. Historically inaccurate to call it a lisp, tho, unless you count English TH as a lisp as well.
Americans pronouncing the names of US cities with a french language origin hurts me physically. Boise and Des Moines I hate you.
Still blows me away that Lafayette thought it was cool that cities named in his honor were called Fayetteville.
Brits say it very slightly better than americans. (source: am from spain)
