Three things happened fairly recently to invent this myth:On what basis are Italians semi-ironically considered non-White?
Some gay nigga sampled (stole) that Justice song for one of his songs
The KKK at one point had a problem with Italians, and there were some lynchings. The joke answer is that it's because Italians aren't white, the reality was because they weren't protestant. Over time people forgot it was a joke.On what basis are Italians semi-ironically considered non-White?
Did they experience an invasion similar to Spain that gave them a negrosemetic taint?
Or did they just degenerate over time?
Surely they used to be pretty peak given they were the seed for the Roman Empire.
Were they so buck-broken over their fall that they refuse to try again?
More or less what @No-Eyed Square Guy and @filthypenguin said.On what basis are Italians semi-ironically considered non-White?
To add to what he said: The Klan's and a lot of antiquated racists' views of Italians in the US come from the accusations that they were papists because they were Catholic would threaten or undermine American values by unconsciously or consciously bring in influence from the Vatican. That and from the revolutionary period some Italians (mainly southerners) were viewed as swarthy and thus non-white by influential people (Franklin). By the same coin, French, Spanish, even southern Germans weren't considered white. People who thought like that mainly just viewed England, East Fresia, and some parts of costal Scandinavia as white. Which bled down into some general american sentiments and the Klan's sentiments.The KKK at one point had a problem with Italians, and there were some lynchings.
