After reading the discussions presented by the three participants,
one conclusion, it seems to me, would be that nowadays it is becoming
harder and harder to be Basque. Somehow you have to proof you are one,
while othe larger cultures don't have to pass the same test.
For example, few people dispute today the reality of "American"
culture, though the U.S. is one of the least homogeneous countries in
the world.
For years I have been documenting the tree carvings left by Basque
artzainak in the mountains. Few people would question the Basqueness of
these artzainak, most of whom were baserritarrak. Yet, the other day, one
scholar, looked at the data, and said: "What is so Basque about it"?

Basque writers have drummed up the Basque "difference" and
their "uniqueness" so much, that now it seems, people are not impressed
unless they see the word EUSKALDUNA tattooed all over their foot-long
noses.
Euskaldunak euskaraz mintzatuko balire, elegoke honelako eztabaidarik.
Hortxe koxka.
