Kendji Girac explains that he was aware of the discrimination against the gypsy community. “At the time, I had experienced a few moments where there were security guards following us when we went shopping.

Once, we were at a small reception area. Next to it, there were houses. I made a friend who had a remote-controlled car. I remember hearing his mother call him: 'Don't hang around too much with these people, they are dangerous, they can hurt you'. I remember that. Looking back, I think it was hurtful, but at the time, I just accepted what happened. I hadn't measured it“, he reports.
