Then Welsh should be welsh all the time as it derives from usage not
because it is right.

Just because it's more common doesn't make it right. In the same way
that usage allows the use of -ise, -ising and -isation when the correct
British English is -ize, -izing and -ization (except for those words
derived from Latin).

 

The OED didn't even give organisation as an acceptable variant of
organization until 1993.

I remain unconvinced: usage suggests both are acceptable with lower case
more common.

Actually you should capitalize Welsh as it is derived from a proper
noun.

Surely Gypsy is only capitalised when used as a proper noun, not as an
adjective; you would not capitalise welsh rarebit, now there is a racial
slur and a half!
