Hi! I'm new here. I decided to join because I find this forum interesting, and because of its ethno-nationalist orientation, I hope to have some nice discussions here.
I want to start by saying that I find it a bit odd that many people here that self-identify as ethnic nationalists suport the existence of states such as Spain in wich there is no comon ethnic identity.
I would understand if someone self-identified as a "spanish nationalist" and defended the union of a group of ethnicities that formed a circle of kinship, such as portuguese/galicians + castelhans + asturians. But when one talks about an "hispanic ethnic identity" that includes for exemple the basques... then i can't see any meaning in it.
The basques are linguistically and maybe culturally one of the most distinct ethnic groups of the White Race (maybe you preffer Europid because it doesn't sound much american
), even genetically they are different from the neighboring ethnicities. If one wants to include the basques and for exemple asturians in the same circle of kinship or meta-ethnicity that group would the the White Race.
Here is a quote about the genetic identity of the basques from wikipedia:

Before the development of modern Genetics based on DNA sequencing, Basques were noted as having the highest global apportion of Rh- blood type (35% phenotypically, 60% genetically). Additionally Basques also have virtually no B blood type (nor the related AB group). These differences are thought to reflect their long history of isolation, along with times when the population size of the Basques was small, allowing gene frequencies to drift over time. The history of isolation reflected in gene frequencies has presumably been key to the Basque people retaining their distinctive language, while more recently arrived Indo-European languages swamped other indigenous languages that were previously spoken in western Europe. In fact, in accordance with other genetic studies, a recent genetic piece of research from 2007 claims: "The Spanish and Basque groups are the furthest away from other continental groups (with more diversity within the same genetic groups) which is consistent with the suggestions that the Iberian peninsula holds the most ancient West European genetic ancestry."
