I dont, I consider identity the main constituent, which can both spawn or have grounds in culture, language, race, etc. The question is not what I consider important though, but what what those Basque separatists do, which is the reason they exist.
But no, I respect what you are saying. Basques indeed have a great part in Spanish history. But identity is far from always rational, so there doesnt have to be rational reasoning behind these Basques movement - but I do believe they have marginal reasoning, perhaps just not enough for the majority of Spanish people to find significant.
Like you say, it depends on peoples own definitions of nation and ethnicity, or simply their ideas about it, their identity.
