His ethnicity might be basque by culture, but his race is not biologically pure basque? Can we agree with that instead of insulting one another?

Nice to see the kid speak the language. One can call mother one who is by nurture or by nature. This kid speak the language well and shows the culture.

euskara Euskal Herriko etorkizuna da.

Europe is changeing fast and some forms of life and languages and cultures are dissapearing at an alarming rate. We cannot stop the assimilation of other ethnic groups into our Basque land, but the MOST IMPORTANT THING is to save our ancestral language from going extinct

Very interesting comments... the Basque region and culture is indeed very valuable and historic within the wider context of the world. However, such discussions about any sort of "purity" is not only morally corrupt, but scientifically injustifiable. The world's "races" are a composition of population movements over thousands of years. Today's "basques" are simply a collection of previous peoples who found themselves in a region with a language that developed into basque. Voila, Euskadi.

@Mogura87 actually, basque genes seem to be the highest percentage of Rh negative blood. meaning there is a different ancestor, or at least a significant mutation, than 85% of the human "race." have you ever heard about an expecting mother's body rejecting the child? it's usually because the mother is Rh negative and the child is Rh positive as a result of the father. being a foreign entity, the body's immune system will attack the child. there are treatments to help with this, though.

Some people may see a boy with dark skin who speaks basque. But I only see a Euskaldun (basque speaker) as myself, perfectly speaking the dialect of Viscay (Bizakaiera). And euskaldun is the main word we use for "Basque" although this two words don´t have exactly the same meaning.

@Mogura87 well if its impossible to determine anything by genetics...than HOW DO POLICE SOLVE CRIME SCENES? ....DNA FORENSICS..

@Mogura87

Actually the most respected Genealogists in the world believe that. See World DNA Project.

@DontReplytoComment And since when did "basque" come to designate a "race"? Does the inhabitans of Basque in Spain and France have radically different genes from the surrounding non-basque populations? Do the people living in Basque as a group have markedly different physical features from the non-basque surrounding populations? According to modern ethnology it's impossible to determine ethnicity by genes and phenotypes; only racists and racialists believe in that.

although that child is of a different ethnic background, it puts to shame the thousands of so called "Basques" that don't speak eskuara and bring up the shitty theory of the rhesus in their blood. Thanks to children like that on the video,and their conscientious teachers and parents our ancestral language is being saved from going extinct, at least for a hopefully substantial amount of time.

@nicolofosho yes I am proud. i dont see how you can call an entire region and its people worthless.s. Im reminded of something that happened to me when i was a child. My mother and i were talking about when and whom i would marry. I asked in jest: "what if i were to marry an african?"

"that would be very cruel" she said.

"to you?" I asked, expecting her to say yes.

"no" she said, "to your children, they would not be this or that, they wouldnt have a place in the world."

Now i understand.
