150 years after the US civil war, the confederate flag is still flying around. I wouldn't be to hasty to call it eventual.
If you are comparing the two, you have never visited Catalunya. The flag is everywhere, also they speak a different language.
It is much more complicated than this. Yes there are a lot of flags but there are also lots of places where there are no flags.
In my building in Barcelona there are 10 flats. 2 flats have occupants who speak Catalan as the mother tongue, 4 flats with occupants who speak Spanish as their mother tongue and 2 flats with foreign languages.
The language divide isn't always an indicator of their views, in the building there are Spanish speakers who want to vote yes, Catalan speakers that will vote no and a general consensus that everyone would just like the legal option to vote regardless of yes/no leanings.

While that's true, its only a small, mostly racist white minority that is really serious about secession. And don't forget that the Catalan people have their own cultural identity for hundreds of years. i.e. they have a legitimate claim of being different from other Spaniards and thus wishing for their independence.
> While that's true, its only a small, mostly racist white minority that is really serious about secession. Are any of them still serious about it now that Obama is out of office?
I'm hesitant to call them racist on a whole (though there most likeley are racists among their ranks) but the Republic of Texas group and their spiritual successor the Texas Nationalist Movement have been around for close to three decades now.
They're the fringiest of the fringe though.

If I remember right, they are one of the richest regions (second only after Madrid) and they contribute to about 20% of the GDP.
They don't contribute, they have an independent economic system which comes from ancient times. Basque Country and Navarra have this privilege.
Is that relevant when we talk about GDP ? Even if little money flows from Barcelona to the central government (I don't know if this is or is not the case, since I don't live in Spain), that shouldn't make a difference, since "GDP measures the monetary value of final goods and services - that is, those that are bought by the final user - produced in a country in a given period of time (say a quarter or a year)."[1]
Maybe you were thinking about taxes ?

#157I just left Barcelona a couple hours ago, the capital of Catalonia. Everywhere you look, Catalan flags, signs demanding 'democracia', demanding freedom. I'm told this is just normal for the region, but if this is normal then independence is eventual.
Well, it is normal since independentists have controlled Catalunya since 40 years ago. It used to be that 20% of the population was independentist through, now is over 50%. For example, they choosed school principals among independentist so now over 85% of them are Catalan language teachers that tend to be independentist. This way kids could be directed to be independentist too. The same happened with the local media…
How is being "forced" to speak the local language any different than what any other schooling system does? Do Madrilenian schools allows kids to choose their primary language, now?
They brought nearly a million muslim people to Catalunya to work
Only ~520k Muslims live in Catalunya. Meanwhile, Andalucia has more than 300k and Madrid over 280k, so it's not like there's such a big difference. http://observatorio.hispanomuslim.es/estademograf.pdf

Come on jsdario... It is indeed possible to change the constution, but: 1) You need 3/5ths of the camera to do so. 2) There is only one significant state-wide party supporting self determination (podemos, which a very young party that entered the scene only in the last election). 3) The major parties (PP and PSOE, which would be like the republicans and democrats in the state) are both overtly against self determinat…
I may agree it's really hard, but the response is accurate. It is still possible. These kind of restrictions exist to defend people of tyranny. The same restrictions exists in Catalonian Parliament for things such as changing the "Estatut". It is not right for a simple majority to enforce their will over the people their opposition represent. Therefore the referendum is not legal, nor legitimate.
Tyranny is a group not allowing another group to decide what to do.
Hear yourself: "the referendum is not legal". Such a nice view of what democracy is.
So willing to vote and say goodbye to this bla-bla-bla-this is not legal, that is not legal.
Good bye opressors. My deceased family in the war the dicator won will be really happy if we can finally separate. Too many open wounds you have never tried to heal.

That's not correct. In mother tongue terms, 55% of population in Catalonia has the Spanish as his tongue (mother/habitual tongue), and 35% Catalan. The "economic power" is in hands of Catalan-"ethnic" people, though. Source (official): https://www.idescat.cat/pub/?id=ed&lang=en "The first casualty when war comes is truth".
If I'm recalling correctly from NPR this morning, nearly 100% of Catalan people under the age of 40 speak Catalan, while very few over the age of 40 do. This is the result of the language having been made illegal, then not illegal, then taught predominately by the school systems. Is it possible the 55% who speak Spanish primarily fall along those demographic lines? Is it also possible that some portion of that 55% sp…
I don't want to discuss politics, there is data in the same (official) web I pointed in the above comment.

55% of population has Spanish as their mother tongue, but that's not necessarily what they speak now. Is there any poll showing what they actually speak daily?
55% mother/habitual tongue. In the above link (official data, from an official source) is explained in detail.
