[Music]

the other day he came from running and before

shower me change I went for a bar

of bread and someone told me not to meet you

base made a gypsy

surely you have heard some

time this pressure or you have a friend

that when it goes disheveled and onion a

gypsy or the typical friend who always

cheat simply say ‘the gypsy’

that’s why I decided to look for information and

I find the dictionary with one of

the meanings of gypsy as a person

that with cases and falsehoods try

cheat someone on an issue and not

only the dictionary book has also

searched on google and I find myself

news related to artists like

child vargas

fran diago or a gypsy clan that

kidnapped a woman in a setting of

bills

now let’s go to youtube we can see

videos of word gypsy street or

a gypsy who sings in a toll to not

pay and I want us to think and

let’s reflect for a moment

is this the reality what is the

history of the gypsy village the village

gypsy in a nomadic community and

Therefore, what is known about

they are counted by third parties

people enter our country in the

year thousand 415 and there is evidence of

this thanks to a safe conduct of

alfonso fifth dragon in which he

a gypsy family allowed to enter

any villa

at first they were affected

At first they were accepted because the

people liked their colorful clothes so

striking his tongue the Roman and his

customs because it was totally new

but everything went wrong in 1499

when the Catholic kings dictated the

first pragmatic in which they are

forced to work under a manor and

in a fixed address otherwise

they could cut their ears and even

expel them from the country

from this moment they leave law is much

harder where he is forbidden to marry

among them speak their language dress the

clothes they want in the newest

compilation of 1805 says verbatim

that he wants to extirpate with everything

related to gypsies reaching

prohibit expressing and saying the word

gypsy and sanction any person

who will provide help or assistance

also prohibited the presence of

gypsies in fairs theater markets or

any kind of dance dance that what

it would represent that we had done

we in this situation

wii since they stayed here to

despite having everything against

for me it is an act of great courage

but for the authorities authorities in

an act of rebellion in our country

until not long ago we had laws in

against them

in 1980 , street vendors were banned

in many autonomous communities being

this the livelihood of most of the

gypsy families as we have been able to see

the story is marked by

discrimination, persecution and mistreatment

and he left me many acts of violence in

the way you can read by typing in

google in a moment what is the

current situation according to cis the

Gypsies is the most social group

discriminated against foreigners

former inmates or drug addicts

They also claim that only 12% of the

European community is related to

some gypsy and this is all that

we can know but how do you

they feel

My name is very chopped Castro

I am Spanish or Castilian manchego

albaceteño rodense and I am gypsy

quiet do not hide the bags that do not

I want to take nothing I’m gypsy and not

I can sing I am gypsy and I do not cheat

I am gypsy and did not steal and I am gypsy and

I have feelings like tube

my father is a street vendor and I ‘ve

raised the slaughterhouse that is the neighborhood

where we live most gypsies

but not all my childhood

I remember her pretty good at school

about half of love

gypsies and the other half not an environment

very enriching since the Huns

we learned from others but apart from

street vendor my father is also

evangelical pastor and for this reason

we had to move to santa cruz de

mudela because they had to lead

a church there in my new class was

the only gypsy was six years old and

first time in my life I felt

different

all my classmates beat me all

my classmates laughed at me

the school went from being fun and

exciting to become a

authentic nightmare come true

I was so afraid that when I left

house to go to school

he got to vomit for not wanting to go to

school when we saw my town at

stem

this changed and I felt one again

more but my concentration and my notes

they had gone down considerably

this feeling of tranquility lasted

little more than a year when my parents

they bought a flat in the center of

town

again he was the only gypsy in class and

They appeared again teasing

they laughed at me for being gypsy because my

father came from merck

lillo or for not having taken communion

it was very hard for a 7 year old boy is

just most of the time I do not

invite you to cheer up birthday feel

a weirdo but this changed when

They knew me as really because

children are not born with prejudices of

we teach them the following thing that

memory is the institute and the first

year was fairly good but the

second was the worst year of my life

a classmate made me life

impossible when I entered class

He closed the front door of morros

of all my classmates when I left

I was throwing myself back to the head laughing

humiliated and everyone laughed with him

even those who looked like my friends

Mine assured that those laughter hurt

more than the attacks of that boy who

I was against me I felt

guilty and deserving because I’m gypsy and

I deserve that teasing

that was my thinking so I did not

I told anyone or anything my parents and

teachers

I told him I wanted to change classes for

study some new subjects I

granted

I changed class and if also

I got friends but I felt like a

fake because he did not say he was

Gypsy

when someone tells you that the gypsy

look is transformed as if they were

carrier of a very serious disease and

contagious the third education

high school

I decided to drop out of school

but thanks to the support of my parents who

they insisted me again and again thanks to

my friends who are here have arrived

explain the same thing ten times or to my

teachers who also bet on

my

and I also understood that I did not have

no problem with being gypsy

the problem was the others because

as one of my favorite artists says

I prefer that they reject me for what I am

to accept everything so I do not

I am thanks to this support that I received

today I am a telecommunications engineer

and I’m doing a master

but what about the gypsies that like

I get all kinds of taunts

happens with gypsies who do not receive

support from his teachers that happens to

Gypsies who do not receive support from their

parents

how many medical engineers

scientists are losing

maybe the doctor with the cure of

cancer is the gypsy you laugh at

class and we are all guilty of this

lost

we are all guilty of the potential that

have aborted and may be thinking

today is samuel forgive me but it is that I

I do not laugh at you I have not laughed at

no gypsy I have not done anything

exact do not do anything also that

it implies being guilty because everyone

we have to contribute our granite

sand and one of these reasons why

we fight in the secretarial foundation

Gypsy

our goal is inclusion and a

equal treatment towards the community

gypsy

we are not an association of gypsies

We are a pro gypsy NGO where payos and

gypsies

we fight united with the same vision

for this we act from several areas

as education equal treatment and

gender employment housing and a long

etc

It’s hard work because there are so many

the factors that we face

not only do we have to change attitudes and

wrong thoughts of the failures

also of the gypsies and we do not want

change our mentality

we do not want to be robbed

opinion and this is one of the biggest

walls that we ourselves raise in

our lives

if you want to progress you have to be

willing to change his mind to

evolve or undertake new

projects and adventures but on the other hand

I feel that I have the best job in

world because I’m passionate to see that thank you

to our work people recover the in

the smile the illusion and the motivation

we see that where before ruled

insecurity now governs courage

On one occasion they asked us

hey and that being a gypsy and a

my friend said being a gypsy is a

authentic job or diego for not

say the word literal

to me the question struck me that being

gypsy is as simple as being a person

we breathe we cry we laugh and if

we also have prejudices

you know we think that failures do not

they want their families do things so

abominable like taking your parents to

an asylum we have to learn from

we who know how to love

that’s why we got a hospital when one

of us gets sick

we also think that all the failures

they have a career and they take their lives

too seriously but I want her to

let’s think all together that it is the fault or

better than being Spanish difficult truth

difficult because there are tall Spaniards

illiterate illiterate educated low

whiter more darker

therefore there is no goal that

can you write to the whole community

Spanish why because we are not a

unique identity

all of us here are

we only have our own ID

our own DNA our own

character our own personality

there is no objective that can

describe the entire Spanish community

well this happens with gypsies too

there is no goal that I can not

describe by much that the means of

communication or the rae insists on

sell a negative image

homogenous of us but it ‘s so

the damage that has been so great is so great

made in the image of the gypsy that many

they hide being for fear of

discrimination and rejection and this is

one of the engines of life for many

people

fear has defined as anguish

an imaginary or real risk or damage

If I was afraid, it will be full of

affliction fear anxiety physically

It will cause sweating tremors

but almunia kidneys what causes

that we order ourselves involuntarily and

stops the immune system

In addition to everything you ‘re going to lose

way because of fear because of the

afraid you do not know the Gypsy people for

fear of the fear you did not tell the person

I loved what I felt sight

Unable to overcome academic challenges

sports or even thought of throwing

the towel for fear of failure

and all this by assumptions and

our thought that most

Sometimes they are false

if you lie

The problem is that if afraid not

only you are going to be the affected

a recent study from the university of

emory medicine in atlanta has

introduced fear of some mice to

through electrical shocks to the smell

cherry tree when he put in value

the mice gave him the shocks the

attacks preventing during the process

that could procreate

after the breeding showed the same

fear response without having received

the attacks to the smell of the cherry tree

while other scents do not

showed the researchers have

observed a change in the area of

brain responsible for the smell both the

attacks on mice that have received

attacks as in those who have not also

observed an alteration in the gene

manager of smell in the DNA

confirms that somehow waiting

she goes from the brain to the genome

allowing this to go from generation

in generation it is being

studying if this is true human but

if so, if you had the fear

also more the area of ​​your children

but instead of fear we are guided by

hope hope that together

we can create a better future

the desire that we all deserve another

opportunity the faith that united

we will reach the goal let us guide

for empathy and put in shoes

of which you have next

I am convinced that your opinion

about him will change

let’s start examining ourselves

themselves and try to correct our

mistakes

instead of constantly criticizing what

of others

let’s forgive we forgive because I did not go

able to stop feeling pain from these

of this mockery

until he does not forgive those who laugh

from me they do not even remember me

why will I be resisting in the

Pain releases the pain and let’s start

to call

let ‘s start calling our environment

let’s start calling our studios

our works our colleagues

because love has the power to tear down

the barriers created by the fear of a

mother told her son recently graduated

my son

we all know who we are today

but we have no idea what

we can become

wants to get the best version of you

wants to destroy the barriers that there are in

your life starts at sea and you will not have

limits

thank you very much

and
