      It’s important to remember that the Italians and the Irish were treated as a low rung of American society not all that long ago.

      They are legitimate victims of the brunt of American hate.

      Is it though? You would be hurt if someone thought you were Italian? You must think pretty poorly of them lol

      In America since we came here and took the land from the natives we just assume everyone’s family came from somewhere else at some point in recent history. A lot of families are very proud of their ancestry and talk about it a lot.

      sorry but Luigi Mangione sounds like a name a token Italian character would have in harry potter. idk how prejudiced it is to assume this is an italian name.

      Buddy, I’m German, I assure you I’ve been subjected to plenty of prejudice myself. Ever seen Die Hard? So flattering (not).

          I have the perfect response to that but this is by far my favorite sub and I don’t want to risk offending the mods, so I’m afraid I can’t answer that question.
