European Tribune - Comments - Remember Guernica

I was going to say that a lot of those Spanish types are suspiciously brownish, so I wasn't sure how valid the experiment could be anyway, but I'm not familiar with the appearance of the Basques. They might have been pale enough to overcome that problem.

(Man, that twisted little evil voice in my head worries me sometimes.)

During Franco's time school texts included stereotypes about nations and peoples as if they were scientific truths. Everyone knows the Basque are burly, stubborn and like good food.

Repeat note to myself from the other day: must read up on the histories of the recent European dictatorships. Anyone got good book suggestions?

Read La Cucaracha on-line. (I should do it, too. To illustrate my ignorance, I just learnt that the communist saint who had several places and streets named for him over here, Máté Zalka, was a general of the International Brigades under the nom de guerre Paul Lukacs).
