For all those times in history when we have discriminated, mistreated or looked askance at you."<br /><br />The Roma people, an ethnic minority in Europe, have faced persecution in the region for generations..<br />They still find it difficult to get work and a proper education due to discrimination and the majority live in poverty.<br />
