To my knowledge, nobody in my entire extended family has either, at least since I've been alive. And we have a very Italian last name (some people mistakenly assume it's Hispanic, but none of us look it at all). There is zero unironic racism towards Italians in American popular culture, and nobody is really worried about it occurring either. The most that ever happens is a tepid joke about meatballs or Super Mario. ya whatever fredo

the weirdest thing that ever happened to me because of my wop ancestry is some black kids at school threatening to beat me up after 9/11 because I was 'arab'.

When I was a kid reading 'the godfather', when michael goes to sicily to escape the fuzz, he notices that italians dont use handkerchiefs. They would just blow their snot onto the ground. At first he was gorssed out, but eventually got used to it I was just like 'guess thats italians for you'

I got your stereotypical Italian hand gesture right here, OP. Marone! Also, Italians are like racism pioneers because Italian-Americans managed to develop a unique ecosystem of stereotypes independent from their original culture.

Jojos Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind featured some of THE finest Italian piss-drinking in modern television. Just some absolutely sublime, S-tier piss chugging. Still warm.

Methanar posted:Do italians count as white now Meds are a distinct cultural and genetic group. Your idea of "white" is a 17th century Anglo concept, mutated and fermented in your tiny little American brains. Nobody but highly Americanized people in Europe think in terms of your broken brained racial system. Unfortunately your cancerous cultural exports have forced your slavery racial-hierarchy baggage on the old world anew. Ask an Italian if they are white, they will laugh in your face and ask what the hell you're talking about. The Bloop posted:Not if you single them out as an ethnicity for slurs or other hate speech, for example "Italian" is not an ethnicity. Italy is one of the least homogenous countries in Europe, notwithstanding migrants and diaspora from the third world. Strategic Tea posted:lol at the Americans going on about ~racism against Italians~. Italy is a G8 country and doesn't give a flying gently caress about primitive race theory from half the world away. This. Americans please just become fully isolationist. It has been made abundantly clear you are not capable of understanding that American culture (and it seems the only culture you have is obsessed with your simulacra of "race") ends at the border.

My only side adjacent stories of Italy are one, an Italian clothier who I bought some clothes from over the years he said if you ever go to Italy to hide your money and he wears a money belt. And two, my friend who went to Italy and got swarmed by Gypsy’s and his money stolen

Then I went and stayed in an air bnb in a pretty run down neighbourhood in Bologna and felt perfectly fine.

Italy has some S-tier pickpockets. My favorite was a team of that worked the Pisa train station that consisted of two urchins, a 14ish year-old girl and a baby. They'd approach a mark with the girl muttering agitatedly. When she got close she'd toss the baby into the mark's arms (turns out CATCH BABY is real high in our lizard brain firmware). With his arms occupied at chest height the urchins dive into his pockets while the girl screams that there bad man is taking her baby. Mark gives the baby back and they all run away in different directions. Edit: it was only a real concern around tourist attractions, naturally. No one is going to pickpocket you if they know you are poor like them. Chef Boyardeez Nuts fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Sep 24, 2020 |

I also saw a lady holding a baby get hauled off the train in Rome where it became clear she had a custom built contraption that held the baby while her hands were free to pick pockets.

Waterbed Wendy posted:What do swedish people say when their meatballs are too spice? No one eats spicy meatballs in sweden, köttbullar is like minced beef and onion + salt and pepper, you eat it with potatoes and brunsås, not with pasta like the italians do. And like its not like you order meatballs when on vacation if you are a swede, you go to the thai place. So like the percentage of swedes that has ever tasted a spicy meatball is probably very very low I dont think younger swedes ever make meatballs tho, takes to much time to roll em all. Some people buy scan meatballs i guess but they are terrible. And yeah where the hell is italian hand emoji, it rules. So someone get on that.

Unfortunately your cancerous cultural exports have forced your slavery racial-hierarchy baggage on the old world anew. This is correct and I applaud your efforts. However, I would say that Italians could be considered a 'mixed ethnicity', with multiple 'sub-ethnicities', if you wanted to be incredibly specific, such as Sicilians, or the various northern (and other) types stemming from the various kingdoms that were forced together to form modern Italy. The same could be said of Spain, with its Basques, Catalans, etc, forming a variety of ethnicities in Spain.

LET ME TELL U ABOUT MY RACE THEORIEZ LOL!! By far the cringiest thing on the internet are Americans who think anybody outside of America cares about your dumb skin-tone gradient idea of "race". Nobody gives a gently caress, you diabetes ridden monstrosity. Go shoot up a school or whatever it is you morons do for fun these days. I don't know what it is with Americans specifically, but the hubris of that trademark american delusional overconfidence when it comes to understanding foreign cultural social structures is real loving annoying.
