1. The primary language spoken in Italy, a country in Europe, Southeast to France.

2. A person with Italian heritage and/or who was born in Italy.

The Italian race is considered hard to place in an ethnic group, mainly by Italians themselves. Italians are white, but they like to classify themselves under "Latino", "Hispanic", or "Other", because they feel they should have their own category. It is very insulting to Hispanics when Italians consider themselves "Hispanic" because they do not meet the criteria to be so. While the traditional Hispanic is someone who's origin comes from a Spanish-speaking country, Hispanic goes hand-in-hand with Latino. Latino would be a more accurate classification for Italians because while all Hispanics may be considered Latino, not all Latinos are considered Hispanic. Brazilians and Portuguese may classify under Latino, but not Hispanic because their language is Portuguese and since their origin traces back to Portugal, they have no Spanish decent.

Italians take much pride in being Italian. They usually make family their highest priority as that is how traditional Italian families are raised. Across the world, they are well-known for their cooking and taking pride in family recipes.

As a negative stereotype, Italians are also well known for the famous mafia asset, which is their form of gangs, and is usually built off of a hierarchy of family members. The television show, The Sopranos, depicts a stereotypical Italian mafia family living in America.
Girl: I'm part Italian, and the rest of me is white.
Latina: Italian IS white, though.
Girl: Well I don't consider myself white because I'm Italian and Italians are tan.
Latina: Well, you are classified under White ethnicity-wise because you are European, and Europeans are considered white except for Spaniards, who can be classified under Hispanic.

They over eat. They have really big families. If you don't eat enough they ask you why you're anorexic (even if you're 300 pounds). They think they're tough but the Irish could kick their ass in a bar fight.

Short people with dark skin that happen to not be smart. Over confident in every way. The women age like hell. Most of all Any German stands at least two heads above those swine. Pretty much the only good thing they have is their Actors. Other than that Germany owns their cars , Hitler owns Mussolini , and Italians are just women when they fight wars.
Meh Gibson is not Italian.

Someone who's born in Italy from Italian parents. All the others are just wannabe-Italians.

A Italian is usually someone who consider himself better than the others just because of his nationality, but that doesn't take into account the fact that he has really nothing to brag about his country, beside food and sport-cars (beautiful men and women can be found everywhere).
Usually a proud Italian is someone that never leaved his country.

Outside Italy, Italians are super-nationalists and feel themselves like part of a big family. In Italy, however, Italians are far from being a compact population. North, center and south-Italians despise each other, and sometimes they also loathe people coming from nearby cities due to small and insignificant cultural differences.

The Italian population is one of the most stereotyped in the world, although few stereotypes are actually true for the most.

An Italian is generally a terrible tourist, always bitching about the superiority of Italian food and refusing to know the local culture.

Italians usually suck when it comes to learn and speak foreign languages.

- So your grandfather was Italian. You are just a wannabe Italian, instead. -
