So what is false about those portrayals? A majority of Italians went back to Italy after they made enough money to set themselves up with businesses and farms in Italy; like most economic opportunists the majority of immigrants didn't come here because they loved freedom n stuff, they came to loot and plunder and stuff their pockets. No need to pretend the natives were obligated to pander to them; all they did was lower wages and living standards for white working people already here.

Exactly. Glad to see you're getting over your racism a little. White Lives Matter.

I would expect a dumb ass to not know that racism was the chief reason in declaring Italians as white...all for the purpose of consolidating power....

White immigrants weren't always considered white — and acceptable - Andscape

Who, exactly, is white? The answer sounds obvious — we know a white person when we see one, we think. But when Italians poured into America in the late 1800s and early 1900s, they were not considered white upon arrival. A century later, though, when Teresa Giudice of The Real Housewives of New...

By indigenous I assume you are not referring to the European settlers who were present before the Italians arrived, but to the American Indians.

The Italians of the center north are white, those of the center south have suffered Greek and Middle Eastern influences.

Like I said before the immigrant groups most discriminated against were Europeans. The non "Whites" non Europeans post 1965 are the least discriminated against. N. American and W. Europe are least racist places on Earth. Most countries are ethnostates and those countries are for their people only. Good morning and **** all of you leftists with a red hot poker up the ass.

Speaking of dumbasses, I guess you really have no purpose in life other than sniveling about ******. You can get together and form a club with the other ****** haters, like Underwear Swap Wednesdays or something like that, and bond.

Everything is a 'race' for failed commie deviants; it's all they have left.

The Irish were targets of the same propaganda. They still call Notre Dame football players the "fighting Irish" when most of the players are probably Black. The Irish couldn't catch a break at the start of the Civil War. They were literally snatched off the ships as they docked and used as cannon fodder in the war.

That's not what was said back in your Know-Nothing days.

The whole notion is bullshit, but back at the turn of the previous century they were considered a distinct one.
