THE LAND of the Amiable Tyranny - The Basque Conundrum Revisited is the first of a series on Basque nationalism and ETA terrorism by Juan Hervada:

Let me just say that it is now my opinion that the Basque Country constitutes the most worrisome situation from a human rights point of view throughout Western Europe. The last shelter of scientific racialism in the developed world, the one spot in the European Union where people are openly discriminated against because of their ethnical origins, often by local public servants.

Juan quotes and comments an essay by Cori Lubliners, a scientist and teacher at Berkeley; make sure you read the whole series as it appears.
