What pray tell makes a person Basque in your mind Is it the fact that they speak Basque with fluency If so then by this definition you yourself would not qualify as Basque Is it the presence of Basque surnames por los cuatro costados Again if so by this definition you would not qualify as Basque Is it the fact that you were born in El Pas Vasco If thats the essential qualifier then your good friend King could not be considered Basque Is it subscription to a belief that El Pas Vasco should have ever greater autonomy or even total independence If so then some fluent Basque speakers of ancient Basque ancestry would find themselves in the absurd position of not really being Basque So I ask you with an open mind and without prejudice who or what other than the cliffs the stones the trees is BasqueI thought you might appreciate reading this message I left our mutual friend SugaarSaludos
