I am aware of the meaning now, I just felt it appropriate to point out I didn't realize it

Off topic a little bit:
chrishuffman95, "jipped" is a common misspelling of "gypped" which means to cheat or swindle. Based on the actual spelling, I can only assume that it derives from the word gypsy, the English term for Romani. The Romani are traditionally a nomadic ethnic group of South Asian origin. They are/were commonly stereotyped to swindle people out of their money with services such as fortune telling.
However, everyone here is aware that you did not mean what you said as a racial slur. The origin of that term has kind of been lost to the years haha.
