Italians are only those people born in Italy.
Italy is an western European country part of the EU.
Italy is one of the 8 most industrialised countries in the world. Italy is one of the 8 most powerful countries in the world and is part of the G8. Descendants of 19th century Italian emigrants to the USA cannot be consider Italians by culture/education/up-bringing/value, most of them cannot speak the Italian language (they generally speak a mix between a early 19th century southern Italian dialects and American English which would be incompressible to an Italian native). Italian currency is EURO (1 EURO = 1.5 US Dollar)

Every time I speak Italians American in New York I'll have to ask for them to repeat what they are saying in English as their Italian is incomprehensible to me.

The Most cultured nationality in the world. An Italian is a lively attractive person with great moral and family values. Great at cooking and very patriotic for Italy. We are not white, or black..we are Italian. Not all of us are members of the Cosa Nostra either. Its very hard to come across an Italian that's a Jackass. No matter what social class, Italians are respectful to anyone.
person 1: Hey, who's that amazing, attractive girl that cooks amazingly and is not in the mafia and has great moral and family values?
Person 2: Oh, that girl? why, shes an Italian!

People who like to have fun and dont get pissed of easy, but look out when they do. All of you people who say you have to have dark hair tanned skin and dark eyes are dumb. i am 100 percent Sicilian(Yes, unfourtunently the italians run Sicily) and I have light brown skin dark brown hair and blue eyes. My Uncle Rocco has red hair. We have close familys, and our grandmas are always willing to make us a sandwich.

I'm so sick of hearing this ridiculous shit that Italian people "aren't white"
NEVER BEFORE have I heard this before I came to this site and saw these ridiculously stupid definitions
ITALIAN PEOPLE ARE INDEED WHITE! EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT!
I'm Italian and I'm light skinned, and damn proud of it!
And no, I most certainly do NOT fit the horrible Italian-American stereotype.
The only reason the douche bag guidos are tanned is because THEY'RE FAKE TANS!
IF YOU'RE ITALIAN, YOU'RE WHITE, SO BE HAPPY

Jill from the Midwest:"Bob! Is that a black bear playing with a baby elephant?"
Bob from New York City:"No Jill. It is a naked Italian hobo tending to his uncircumcised penis."
Jill:"OH GROSS! I wouldn't say he is naked. He seems to be wearing some kind of a fur coat."
Bob:"Nah. That's his own body hair. I guess some men are hairier than others."
Jill:"DOUBLE GROSS!"
Bystander:"Dude. That's a woman."
Bob and Jill: "NO WAY!!!!!"
Bystander:"Yip. Welcome to little Italy!"

Being of an Italian descent. If you are born in Italy, then you are Italian. Lots of non-italians when describing their definitions say 'We Italians', mean while they live in America. You are NOT Italian if you live in America, you can have Italian ancestry, but you're still more American than Italian. Some of the definitions of this word are pretty bad and very stereotypical. No, Italy is not the most kick-ass country in the world with the most kick-ass people. Not all Italian girls and guys are 'hot' and not all Italians are olive skinned and dark haired. Many Italians appear to be attractive because of the way they dress (most Europeans care about the way they look than we do in North America). Italians are just as pure-white-Caucasian as any American(s) (who is/are white) is. I was born in Italy and moved to Canada and still travel back every year. Whenever I go, I think of all of the crazy stuff people say about Italians. Yes, they can be confusing and hard to understand at times, I've read many books on them and have also experienced them... but not all Italians are who you think they are. Basically, you cannot talk about Italy/Italians without KNOWING (as in going there, and SEEING everything, how they act and react to things) Italy and Italians.
