More derogatory for Gypsies (in conversations) would probably be "tattare". It was originally used for mixed Gypsies/Swedes but nowadays, it seems to be used for Gypsies as a whole.

Where I live, tattare (and the verb tatta) is used more used against people who "steal" things, it's not really a ethnic slur. When we talk about Gypsies, we call them zigenare.
Among "Dark people in general", Turk can also be included. Swedes tend to use it as a "slur" for anyone with a MENA-appearance. You could then also include jugge into that category.
