    I mean, take a good look at Luigi and how hard they’re trying to blame him. You don’t get much more white than Italian. Maybe Scottish, but it’s close.

      I mean, I actually think it is very possible to be more white than Italians—they weren’t even considered white in America until the last 100 years or so.

        Yes, this. I’m quite sure if I ventured back to the place where I grew up I could find more than a few people that would consider Italians as non-white.

          Which is kind of funny when I think about the casual racism that was thrown around by my Italian immigrant Grandmother when I was a kid.

      You forgot about the discrimination of Italians in America.

      Just like US was no fan of Irish immigrants either.

      Really just pick a country and at some point the US has probably discriminated against people from there.

      Ask a white supremacist if Italians are white

      There is a lot of anti-Italian sentiment. Especially South Italian, where folks start looking much darker in skin
