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
