Nobody when you spell it "jipped". When its spelled "gyp'd" or "gypped" it refers to Gypsys, alluding to the stereotype that they will swindle you or steal from you.

Means the same thing, doesn’t just change meanings or origins because it’s misspelled…

Cool, all you have to do to not be racist and still say slurs is to misspell them! What a handy trick!

Well, it still is well and alive. It's not kind though. It's not like they've been the only swindlers and scammers.
