No, can confirm there are far too many people this ignorant. I work with a good number of them. I’m in North Georgia, and some of these people literally can’t find themselves on a map of the United States and believe the English folks stole English from the Americans…
Maybe the Basque are sorta culturally first nations. The language they speak is not related to any other language spoken in Europe. It’s the only surviving language that descended from pre-indo-European languages of prehistoric Europe.

That’s just crazy to me. Remembers me one time I was in Canada, and we were visiting a museum with First Nation People depicted.
A woman I was with asked me “So, do you also have First Nations in Europe?”
Well…
We have the Sami in Sweden/Norway/Finland/Russia.
They where treated like shit here as well… not genocide bad, but forcefull eradication of culture/language/religion during the 20th century bad.

Yup, Sweden drank the “race biology” kool aid.
Did a lot of nasty shit to mentally disabled people too, like giving them super sticky candy to study the effects of sugar on tooth decay.

I mean, current Basque people are descendants of the original Basque people it’s not like someone arrived from another continent and slaughtered them.
About the language, there are a few other non Indo-European languages: Finnic languages (including Finnish, Estonian) and Ugric languages (Hungarian)

My sister-in-law said she couldn’t have mayonnaise because she was intolerant to dairy.
People are just dumb these days.
