Wendys has a commercial where a group of stereotypical Italian Americans crowd around an idealized white person and act crudely and threateningly towards him. They eat like slobs, eating spaghetti and meatballs, acting suspiciously of him, and generally make buffoons of themselves. They wear gold chains, have a darker complexion than the white man, and have very ethnic features such as black hair and big noses. Most obviously, the premise is that they are all mobsters and that the white man is there to defeat their evil. At the end of the commercial, two very non-Italian looking federal agents are shown.
This commercial was about a parmesan Caesar salad, by the way. The commercial took Italian food, culturally appropriated it, weaponized it, and attacked Italian Americans with it. The media is not covering this outrageous commercial. In fact, there is a civil rights group on Facebook that gets attacked, both by Italians and non-Italians, in very hateful language, just for pointing these kinds of issues out to the general public.

The Ancient Romans invented cement, heated floors to warm a home, paved roads, acquaducts, and much more. Then we can go into more "modern" times, if you care to.
same here. Italian and I still visit the old country every 2 years. My father’s family is from Naples. Last time I was there the mayor of the city is a “friend” of our family and he has a big picture of Trump in his office..hates Africans and other illegal immigrants.
You Got That Right!
At one time 1/4 of the Roman Empire was Jewish (as any one with eyeballs can see when talking to Italians).
So youll probably just end up be hated.
Does that mean we can celebrate Christopher Columbus again?

Yeah. 23 and me gives your DNA info to government agencies.
I have committed no crimes but depending whos in power here a decade from now it may be important to have less stuff available for the swamp to have access to.
Perhaps Ill submit a swab as Art Vandelay.
Hannibal occupied the Italian peninsula for many years. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of his African troops took my great, great, great, great, great grandma as a slave. I’m gonna have to take one of those DNA tests.
Can we all just ‘identify’ ourselves as ‘People of Color’ on demand whenever a whim strikes us? That way we can get protected class benefits, minority contracts, diversity credits, and so on, whatever.
I never stopped.
And those who doubt "Italians" contributions to the sciences should begin by familiarizing themselves with the works of Enrico Fermi, Guglielmo Marconi, and Alessandro Volta, among many others. And all you hockey fans out there tip your hats and raise a glass to my paisan, FRANK ZAMBONI.
Good luck getting Italians to crybaby and whine like “minorities”.
For you...
She should have felt very special. Red hair and blue eyes are supposed to be the most rare hair and eye color combo.

A hat with the brim turned up

But where do you get money for Camel cigarettes?

Grew up south side Chicago in the 60's. Italians were devote Catholics with big families whose mom's could really, really cook!!!!
