Spanish Region Nationalism - 04/19/04 05:37 PM
Hi every body I know that their are alot of Basues,Galegos etc. posting on this site I understand that you guys are very protective of your regional identity. But I do how ever do have a question how comes you guys don't like being referred to as Spanish I mean Spain has had a great a history and is a great country is it really some thing to be ashamed of and I don't want to start a rant im just curious why each of us must refer them selves as castillian Galician etc. can't we just be Spanish-American your thoughts. ( And yes I know that the regions are VERY diferent but beare with me)Any how with Spain having such a great culture etc. why must we be ashamed of being referred to as Spanish Galician in other words being called Spanish souldn't be considered an insult since official speaking the regions are part of Spain. And I don't think being Spanish European is a bad thing. It also doesn't imply your castillian.
