Anyone that did something outstanding is catalan by default.
at first I read "Catalonia" as "California" and I was like "hmmmm interesting why would California pay a bunch of Euros to see if Shakespeare is Catalan"?
We are all Catalans.
I read this post I was like do they really?
He was also Black. Just like Beethoven. Or at least according to some twat on the internet he was.
The theory literally goes like this
>Cervantes was Catalan called Cervent
>Wrote Don Quixote
>The inquisition stole it and called it its own, inventing Cervantes, nevermind him being a well known character known by a lot of people like Lope de Vega
>He ran away to Britain and became Shakespeare
Drama wasn't even his main point. Other characters that are catalan according to Institut Nova Historia (paid by spanish tax money)
>Da Vinci
>Marco Polo
>Columbus
>El Cid
>Hernan Cortes
>Saint Teresa de Avila
they also believe in the "Catalan Roman Empire" whatever that means. Its also a meme on /esp/. Every important person was catalan if you think about it.
cringe but also based. do the others also have funny Catalan names?
>Institut Nova Historia (paid by spanish tax money)
This is when I stop laughing. Cringe propaganda subsidized with taxpayer's money and nobody is still in jail for it.
Yes

The funniest is this one
>That Hernán Cortés was actually Ferran Cortès, a Catalan noble;[7][21] Francisco Pizarro was Francesc Pinós De So i Carròs; Diego de Almagro's real name was Jaume d'Aragó-Dalmau;[22] Amerigo Vespucci's last name was a distortion of the surname "Despuig", and his voyage to the new world was made in the name of the "King of Catalonia".[7][19][23] Thus, the feat of discovery and conquest was accomplished entirely by Catalans, the only people who sailed to the Americas before 1518.
It's where I start laughing
All this shit is so WEWUZ it is almost not funny. I though this shit was funny when it was about american blacks but this is so close I feel conflicted.
And then they wonder why we voted for Brexit.
rent free
Shakespeare was british. Wewuzzing was funny at first but now its just tiring
are there really people outside of england that care about shakespeare?
I thought the only reason he's even known outside of there is because he is mentioned in some american children cartoons.
>That Leonardo da Vinci was Catalan, born in a town near Montserrat.
Lmao what was his name? Leonardet del Vichi or something
Its not just wewuzzing if its financially backed by millions of €. Its basically propaganda.
*catalonian taxpayer money
This shit is done by retarded secessionists who believe that Spain has somehow obscures every great thing catalonians do. So they believe that Catalonia is the hottest shit in the world and has invented everything, but evil spaniards keeps manipulating history and hiding all their great achievements
To be honest most independentists feel as much cringe about these people as anyone else
I mean he's arguably considered the greatest writer in what is the global lingua franca not to mention he had a massive effect on it's literary use and standardisation, so I'd say he's pretty important.
Ok based Institut Nova Historia, how do I get a job there
Why are catalans so cringe?
Probably be part of an independentist politician's family.
I hate catalans
I am a fierce aficionado of castille
The only non sub-human region in spain
Yes he was italian. He also copied from italian stories
Everyone copied everyone. The guy that actually wrote down Marco Polo's travels was the most famous author of King Arthur stories in Europe and he was from Italy. And most of the most famous king Arthur stories were written by French authors for a queen that was occatian in orgin if I remember correctly
>The only non sub-human region in spain
Retira iso
I am Catalan
So Catalans are...NIggers?
Catalan niggers don't even have a country. They are absolutely irrelevant
Are Catalans those funny imaginary things you see when you get older?
This > Nikola Tesla memes
Dude I'm a Catalan and 99,99% of the people in Catalonia laughed when that piece of news was released.
