I thought the Italians were looked down on. In the US anyway.
No? Look there are weird racists for everything, but generally Italian and Irish racism is like 100 years out of fashion.
I’d say more like 50? Maybe less? Don’t forget many Italians were automatically assumed to be in a gang (Mafia) and profiled heavily even into the 90s. The Irish outside certain pockets were more or less the same.
Are you suggesting some Americans are ignorant bigots...?
I've recently had a Canadian on VRChat call me a "scammer of golden pussy" or something after reading i was Italian in my bio. He first said i was poor due to my country's economy(who in their right mind berates people due to the economy), then decided that i had to be scamming people to live. Still salty cuz i didn't report this bitch.
If you want to experience being looked down on go to South Tyrol and speak Italian
go to South Tyrol and only speak Italian
To be fair, that would probably just be considered rude in a multilingual and multicultural region like that 🤷
