Tal vez debo llamerme GitanoSoloHonrado. Ahhh, that's a bit much. I thought there was a Spanish version of Gypsy that lived in some caves in the south of Spain, in order to avoid the Mores and later the Inquisition. They were the ones that invented the flamenco and also had a high standard of art work. In defense of the Eastern Eurpopean Gypsies they were persecuted like few other groups. At one time castration was mandatory.
