You joke, but that kind of prejudice is pretty hurtful in day to day life

sorry but Luigi Mangione sounds like a name a token Italian character would have in harry potter. idk how prejudiced it is to assume this is an italian name.

Everything is hurtful now. Even nationality... jeez

Buddy, I'm German, I assure you I've been subjected to plenty of prejudice myself. Ever seen Die Hard? So flattering (not).

on average, how many "nein"s do you hear from non-germans per day?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I have the perfect response to that but this is by far my favorite sub and I don't want to risk offending the mods, so I'm afraid I can't answer that question.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, fast food places are a nightmare, for one. It's always "neiny nein" this and "neiny nein" that.

It's important to remember that the Italians and the Irish were treated as a low rung of American society not all that long ago.

They are legitimate victims of the brunt of American hate.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Is there anyone Americans haven't hated and/or discriminated against yet? Anyone ever not been a victim of the US?

Hard to discriminate against someone who can buy their way past it.

Counterpoint, CEO's death being praised by many. Seems like hatred is an equal opportunity thing, but some are more insulated to it than others.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Counterpoint to counterpoint: the CEO was hated for being a shitty person who lead the charge in denying healthcare, not because of his wealth.

Is it though? You would be hurt if someone thought you were Italian? You must think pretty poorly of them lol

In America since we came here and took the land from the natives we just assume everyone's family came from somewhere else at some point in recent history. A lot of families are very proud of their ancestry and talk about it a lot.

My name comes from an ethnic background but I dont look ethnic so I always get weird Looks at doctors offices because of it. I think its pretty funny but I guess some people dont find it as funny to be "profiled" so to speak. It really depends on the culture you grew up in and how high tolerance actually was for that sort of thing in your life, at least thats my two cents. I dont mind it but others might.

I'm not trying to hate on you but there's a real problem with using the word ethnic to mean non white. You are certainly ethnic. You belong to an ethnicity.
