    They sound like a bratty teenager. If we’re taking their comments at face value, they probably get a lot of praise from their friends with cheap digs at America even if the same problems exist in their own culture.

    They do, but depending on context, Italian is the answer they really being asked. If an American asks another American about their background and they get an answer like Italian-American or American of Italian decent, they’ll get a funny look because the American part is implied.

    Why are you being confrontational about this? Italian Americans aren’t claiming to have Italian citizenship. Their cultural identity has more to do with their cuisine and values passed down the family. It’s more than just a piece of land that’s shaped like a boot.

    The fact that you’ve responded to me to focus on the animals but not on the people my comment is actually about is a perfect illustration of my point.

    That’s all a narrative you created in your head. Besides, many of the same solutions that would protect endangered species would also protect marginalized people. You’re trying to make this into a Trolley Dilemmas for some reason. Who do you think are the ones buying dick powder made form Rhino horns?
