American of mostly Italian extraction here, can confirm. We're supposed to be the "black white people" (by just about everybody), but most of us: 1. refuse to live on welfare if we can at all possibly keep from it; 2. don't like playing the victim Olympics game (everybody knows that eventually the strong dog is the one who runs the neighborhood, so don't think of us as weak); 3. we really do like America even though we're proud of being Italian (oh noes! sorta white people who refuse to denounce their country nor apologize for their old culture/traditions and somehow make both of those work!) PS. yeah, it kinda sucked what some whitebread racists did to us...but that's not our America, and we have kinda won (take that racist bitches!); -- this especially includes the frustration they feel: for decades they've tried to indoctrinate us, make us take up trash culture as our own (Madonna? Snookie?) and they STILL haven't managed to get us completely onboard; 4. Christopher Columbus (and no, I refuse to give him up -- we worked hard to make America and save up for those statues by God we're keeping them!)
and then Trump busts out Christopher Macchio to sing at the RNC and that pissed off the left too, and they can't even figure out why they're pissed off about it.
Nessun Dormina -- the opera it's from is a bit significant; the fact that it is used as a fight song is significant, but the lyrics....ah, once you read the lyrics!
When we heard it, I had to bust out laughing -- what a beautiful troll by our President! (and yes, being Italian-American, my family are huge opera fans...even having family who hailed from the same vicinity of Italy as Puccini, which makes him sort of a hometown hero...I caught the hints because I've heard that song a million times growing up, even saw Turandot performed).
Those who can’t create destroy- destroy statues, businesses, places of worship, schools, houses, our institutions, our workplaces, even our military. When they see or hear something beautiful or successful, they instinctively want to destroy it, suppress it, or cause it to implode.
I never knew the Italians were the "black white people" I would assume that was the Irish(obv not on skin tone). The vast majority of the Italian people I know are patriotic as fuck and they arent cool with bullshit.
The Irish were the first "black white people"; then we came along. Yet another bit of the not so subtle bigotry (against Blacks, Irish, and Italians in this instance, there are plenty of other examples) the left/Dems have engaged in since the beginning.
Blacks -- supposed to act "ghetto"
Irish -- supposed to be like "Blacks"
Italians -- supposed to act like "Irish and Blacks"
aka. according to their disgusting, stereotypical visions for us all -- fuck that bullshit, this is America.
"The last acceptable prejudice", P. Jenkins. The left in particular hates Catholics. But, the modern political left in the U.S. has its historical roots in both the pro-slavery Democrats as well as the anti-immigrant Know Nothings (you could say they took from the worst both the north and the south had to offer) -- hatred and disdain for "white ethnics and non-white people" is deeply ingrained into them (don't look at their words, look at what their actions towards the same have been). So, it isn't just an anti-Catholic thing (back in the day they hated German immigrants...who are hardly all Catholic...they used to call them "brown"! what a joke, huh?).
Yup- look at how Kamala Harris and Maize Hirono treated judicial nominee Brian Buescher for being in Catholic service organization Knights of Columbus. (Does just hearing the word Columbus just majorly trigger libs or what?)

And we can cook!
My husband didn't just marry me for my looks and charm!
A well fed man is a happy man 😋
Oh, dear God yes.

Irish, then Italians, Poles, Hungarians... there's a common thread here. Catholics! There's still a lot of anti-Catholic hate in this nation.
