The Lega Nord is very much like many early 20th Century US anti-immigrant parties. They don't want Southern Italians coming into their lands, let alone Muslims or other peoples. Ideally, the would secede from Italy and found their own nation. So, racist is a little strong, but nativist is probably spot on.

Thanks. Am I the only one that thinks it’s okay for folks to be nativist if they want to be. I really don’t mind folks from just about anywhere, but when it comes to my home town turning into a foreign onclave, you can bet your posterior I don’t appreciate it.
