You can tell an Italian by them m9ving their hands all over the place while they speak italian.
What’s wrong spaghetti boy, can’t type “moving” without making huge hand motions? Good luck responding with your thumb and middle fingers touching the entire time.
I need a Venn diagram of whiteness to really get this. Or a scale of some sort
Anglo-Saxon was the
toponly real white. Catholics were hated (so most of the mainland European). Irish were put into indentured servitude. Italians were essentially black. Ukrainians were slavs and were an entirely different species of humans, subhumans really. Same with Polish.Anglo-Saxon was the only real white
There are certain ethnicities that although white, have been marginalized and scapegoated for societies problems in the past. Groups like Italians and Irish people were considered a lower-tier of white people, just above black people, especially in the US in the 18-1900’s.
It’s why the US has St Patrick’s Day and Christopher Columbus Day. They needed to prove their worth to earn “whiteness”

I’m pretty sure they weren’t considered any tier of “white” at that time.
