he's not just Italian, he's so Italian that he was named the way jowling kowling rowling would name a token Italian character in harry potter

The majority of Caucasians have African genes.

they're trying to make him sound insane by referring to his manifesto with vague and scary language so I think we got our answer

I'm not white or Italian, I just like to complain on YouTube videos where a non Italian makes inauthentic Italian food.

Makes me feel like a real ally who is standing up for something.

I like to complain on YouTube videos where an Italian makes food with tomatoes and calls it authentic Italian food because tomatoes are Mexican. Get on my level.

So you heard it here, folks. Pizza is not Italian.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pizza predates tomatoes in Italy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not what Italians call authentic pizza, it doesn't.

I'm latino and I still do not understand how the fuck you man manage to live always looking at whiteness. Such an hysteria with the skin color.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Well obviously you can't always look at the black ones, they disappear in the shadows. /joke

Latinos also act prejudiced to those darker than them

Well I should have specified I'm not from US too. I realize there's racism eveywhere but classism is worse here in southamerica I believe. We aren't eveyday doing that colorism thing for sure.

I can confirm, I'm also Latino and received various compliments on my skin color. And my friend would refuse to go to the mall in the affluent part of town complaining that she felt discriminated against because of her darker complexion even though she's beautiful. It trips me out because people here swear up and down that racism doesn't exist saying there's only classism.

Edit to clarify that she felt discriminated against because of her skin color.

Yep, Jamaican here. Everyone is black, but there's a huge problem with "bleaching" where people are whitening their skin color, as they perceive it to be of higher status.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I think skin bleaching might be a rampant issue. iirc Africans and Asians also do it. Everyone seems to want lighter skin. Wonder if it's due to Western influence.

Isn't tanning a form of "skin darkening"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At least some of it comes from outdoor workers being darker from sun exposure and then cultures associate "dark = laborer."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I still think it's funny that tanning salons are so popular in the US, to look like you have free time to lounge in the sun.

This took me too long to understand. Basically saying how Luigi is treated will determine if Italians are considered white. If he is treated with respect and not beaten while in custody Italians are confirmed as white people.

Thank you. I'm slow.
