Yes there are Italians that dark, even features wise there are Italians that can pass as hispanic super easily. I have relatives in that capacity myself.
Ariana is not one of those Italians.

This might be a derail, and it might seem inflammatory, but take it as a good faith comment.

I live in South America, I have lived in South America for over two years. It is confusing for me when I read about people in the United States treating "Hispanic" as a racial group with certain features. Some people in South America have indigenous ancestry, but some people in South America are from Europe (not just Spain, but Italy, Germany, France, Poland, Yugoslavia, etc). There are also people from East Asia and the Middle East. You can find people here with names like Helen Middlethorp or Claudio Schmidt or Eduardo Wang.

To me, Hispanic or Latino only means "Spanish speaker" or "From a Spanish/Portuguese speaking country" (Okay: obvious problematic area: there are some indigenous groups where people do not speak Spanish, but they are still Hispanic because they are from a Spanish-speaking country, I will let others figure that one out). As far as physical appearance, social customs, religion, politics, food, and even "culture" there isn't a core attribute that defines what is Hispanic. The only definition that makes sense to me is the functional one, people who speak that language.

A real hellraiser



The finale of Power Rangers in Space where Zordon says "Andros, you must shatter my energy tube, releasing a wave of good energy that will wipe out evil's attacking forces."

And Andros responds "That would be killing a lot of monsters. I think it's only prudent to kill monsters in your immediate vicinity that pose an imminent threat"

And Zordon replies "Andros we do not have the time"

And Andros interrupts " If good is really better we can defeat the ultimate alliance of evil in the marketplace of ideas. Destroying them would be a form of censorship"

And then Ecliptor stabs him through the chest and kills him.

Yeah, I feel like people understand that Asian immigrants come from a vast number of different cultures much better than they do for Central and South America.

I agree with this. They should be literally antagonizing him. It causes him to just vomit unforced errors and distracts him from doing anything else.

Yeah we know this, but for all intents and purposes in the US that is the way it comes across socially and for the most part racially. The vast majority of latinx immigrants to the US are on the darker side of things, and this *cough* colors the way it gets framed and placed in our society.
Likewise my point is that Italian (and especially Greek) Americans can look super pale, or be very dark (in a Middle Eastern sense) but will always be socially grouped as white. Same with darker Jews and pretty much any Middle Easterners who are Christian.

Don't act like South America is a stranger to complicated often seemingly contradictory socio-racial politics my dude.

Okay, yes, I agree, I didn't mean to "well actually" there. Just kind of sharing my own process of discovery when I moved to a foreign country and found out that the US categories I was familiar with didn't make sense here.
I don't now about "always" be socially grouped as white. The fault lines of who has been "in" and "out" of "White" America has changed many times, and it will probably change again, very rapidly.


South America is very complicated. Just different complications. This probably isn't too on-topic, but recently, in Chile, a Mapuche Indian, Camilo Catrillanco, was killed by a police officer (who was actually arrested for it!). And so there is some obvious racism going on there, but if you looked at the pictures side by side, they don't look noticeably different.

Like, a pretty normal part of my life is worrying that people, who, in the United States, would be clearly "non-white" are going to be neo-nazis. And that is obviously a little weird for me!

By "always" I mean in a contemporary sense. Though the truly darker Southern Europeans may be accidentally profiled as latinx or Muslim by idiot racists anyway. Especially in overwhelmingly Northern Euro ancestry areas.

The local version of this in my state is being unsure whether someone you just met is Puerto Rican or Italian, until you find out the latter by hearing them be racist about the former lol.
