He IS Basque....not sure what your insinuating.

Anyways, Neymar just scored a ROCKET...this game is DONE.

Atletico, Bilbao, Real Madrid are all out. Sevilla and Valencia are only real threats to not retain the cup at this point

I was born in the USA, I am therefor an American citizen....even though both my parents are born and raised in Mexico. I don't get what your saying; he IS Basque.

Well technically you're not 100% American because Mexican blood flows through your veins.

then no one is american unless your a native american

Whats this 100% nonsense? What matters is my birth certificate...if World War 3 brakes out I'm going to be drafted to fight for USA, not Mexico because I am an American citizen, not a Mexican citizen.

He's an American of Mexican descent. Are you people really so out of touch with this world?

Exactly....then I'm an American....

Just how Inaki is Basque...

No one is talking about his descent

linetty sounds like a product of trumps bullshit

Exactly

Like some red neck bullshit...."HE"S NOT MY COLOR SO HE DON'T BELONG HERE"

There is a huge difference between your 2 statements. The former is right but the later is just nonsense.

I'm not saying Inaki can't play for Bilbao... Just that he can't be a 100% Basque because of yeah his skin colour. I was just wondering if one of his parents is like from Africa or something. Just curious.

Get offended cause I asked an innocent question, right... You're so sensitive you should feel offended. Cut that crap out.

that's not a question you imbecile.

and i'm not offended just pointing out how ignorant / uneducated you sound

'are both of his parents Spaniards?'

Go to bed kid.

of course he can be 100% Basuqe...he is born there so therefore he is 100% Basque. It's not like he's only a fifth because his parents were born elsewhere.

Whenever I travel back and forth from Mexico, per my birth certificate I am 100% American and I need a passport just like any other American would to be able to cross the border. They don't go by my skin tone or what my first and last name sound like (or my fabulous good looks)

Your original comment was not asking where his parents were from...it came off very discriminative due to his skin tone. I just googled him, his mom is Liberian and his father is from Ghana since you were wondering. Sounds like they lived in Basque county a while before he was born and he has lived there his whole life. I'm sure he feels and considers himself Basque, regardless of what people think just due to his skin tone.

after trying to insult him by saying he can't be basque based on the color of his skin

voting for trump this fall?

do you also make videos on youtube screaming out racist remarks then saying "it's a prank bro"?

Thank you for your answer.

I'm just baffled by how quickly some get offended. I mean,all it took was his black skin tone to create a shit storm really, this is getting way out of hand. People playing the racist card all the time.

It turns out in 2016 that whenever you say something that might slightly come off as offensive towards black skin toned people you get called a racist and an uneducated animal and whatnot. But when the opposite happens it's completely fine. Just look at the Oscars and the buzz around it lately.

Its straight off ridiculous. I have nothing against anyone and I even do have a black friend. But honestly the stuff I hear these days.

You know what. I changed my mind. I do have something against people. But I hate everyone equally therefore I'm not racist.

Donut... Just go to sleep kiddo.

I've never seen a black Basque before and it doesn't make me anything that I question things.

And certainly you don't have the right to judge me.

I don't care about America and I don't have the right to vote you bright kid.

HEY, WELCOME TO THE WORLD WHEN YOU CAN'T BE RACIST TOWARDS WHITE PEOPLE BUT YOU CAN'T CALL A BLACK PERSON ANYTHING AND THEY ARE SO INNOCENT WOW.

Relax everyone, Linetty was not trying to be offensive.

Comparing Spanish laws to American ones is not exactly precise, as America works under jus soli (if you're born in America you're American) whereas Spain works under jus sanguinis (if one of your parents is Spanish then you're Spanish), so Linetty is correct to wonder whether he has any Spanish heritage.

The answer is that Inaki William's parents are refugees who escaped to Spain, where they obtained Spanish citizenship and had him.

This is probably the dumbest conversation we've had in the barca section tbh

Through to the next round and what a goal by Neymar...watching him play is an absolute joy

Thank you BC.

One person with correctly functioning brain. At last.

Wanted to say another thing or two but not gonna waste any more of my time for some certain uneducated individuals.

Iñaki Williams is basquer than Llorente, who is from La Rioja. And they chose a basque name for him, like Iñaki, so I guess his parents wanted him to feel at home.

Also, he is not the first black player Athletic had. Jonas Ramalho also debuted for them.

Going by the theory of the descent, we are all from african descent. So we should all say, I'm a catalan (or american or whatever) from african descent.

In spain, if you are born there you also have spanish nationality, regardless of parents nationality.

On the game, terrible first half, and much better second half after they tired. Neymar was sensational, although he should have tried to dive less and shoot more, while Suarez and Messi were quite bad for their standards.

Mathieu and Vermalen a joke again. Mascherano as DM was poor. He can't play there when we are pressed. Roberto is much better. Then he played as CB and was much better though he made a stupid mistake towards the end trying to cover a ball outside the pitch, that almost costed us a goal.

Btw, Roberto is growing as a player by the day. The pass he made to Messi for the first goal, and that very powerful long shot he made towards the end... he didn't do this stuff just 6 months ago.
