I'm not sure why you think that means he's not Basque.

He is 1/8th Basque. That is enough to get him into Bilbao's Academy but not enough for me to say he is Basque.

He was born in a basque region of France so therefore eligible as he's basque ?

He is eligible because he is 1/8th Basque through his great grandparents. There is more to being Basque than physically living within the boundaries of Basque country.

I don't know his family's lineage but there is a Basque population in France as well as in Spain. You may, or may not, be interested to know the largest Basque population outside of Spain is in Boise, Idaho USA.

I did not know that but it illustrates my point that where you live does not make or NOT make you a Basque ;)

I am responding to other posters. Do you have anything actually constructive to add?

He's a descendent of Basque people raised in French Basque country. That makes him Basque.
