For many years Catalan separatists have often used derogatory references to the rest of the Spaniards - for the Catalans are also Spanish - comparing them with Jews, Berbers and Africans (as if being a Jew, a Berber or an African was something bad) and attributing to the Catalan people a European, Celtic <a href=\"https:\/\/ciudadanoadrian.wordpress.com\/2015\/08\/24\/la-propaganda-independentista-y-los-arios\/\">and even Aryan ancestry<\/a>. The paradox is that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lavanguardia.com\/vida\/20100409\/53902220210\/1-1-millones-de-catalanes-descienden-de-andaluces.html\">more than a million Catalans descend from Andalusians<\/a>, and as is logical, many Catalans have ties of kinship with the rest of the peoples of Spain. Despite this, some separatists do not stop resorting to <strong>a detestable racism as part of their hate speech against Spain.<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.libertaddigital.com\/espana\/2017-05-02\/el-odio-a-espana-a-traves-de-los-libros-de-texto-en-cataluna-1276598107\/\">A hatred that has been fostered in many Catalan schools<\/a> at the initiative of separatist teachers and that has had the support of the nationalist government of that Spanish region.<\/p>\n<p>---<\/p>\n<p><small>(Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/jqFp8P\">irreverent.cat<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00abSpaniards not welcome.\u00bb This is the motto of an image shared on Twitter on Tuesday by a group of the most radical Catalan separatism, the \u00abMoviment Identitari Catal\u00e0\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10398],"tags":[10703,11232,10998,11161,11462],"class_list":["post-35247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spain","tag-catalonia","tag-moviment-identitari-catala","tag-nationalism","tag-racism","tag-spain"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-11 20:03:45","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35247\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
