Interesting that he got rid of his whitish sounding name, and chose a name that pretended to make him a member of an ethnic group.I bet most italians who voted for him had no clue. IP: Logged |

Also, it's interesting that a German name sounds "whitish" to an (I believe?) non white ear, but an Italian name does not. No offense taken or intended - I am neither German nor Italian. Just curious.IP: Logged |

Yes, older members of my British American family didn't consider southern Europeans full fledged Whites. They were White ofc, just a lower class of White. And these were old school Kennedy liberals! Whether Meds are really White is still a matter of debate in Alt right circles. Likewise, have you noticed that southern Euros will often use the same insults on northerners as Black will- uptight, boring, unseasoned chicken etc. Lol its curious and funny.
I suppose this is something akin to colorism within the US Black community?IP: Logged |
