An incredibly cultured people who work hard and are not considered white by white people and yet not considered minorities to the WASP-ass government.
Sometimes get a bad rep because of movies and shows where they are depicted as gangsters. Italian women are strong-willed, hard-working, and completey hot just like Irish and Black women. Usually have beautiful olive skin and dark hair. Italian men love their families and work hard and many are incredibly intelligent, despite what it shows in the movies. Leonardo DiVinci, an Italian man, was one of the smartest men in the world. Italians are also great artists. An Italian discovered America, an Italian named America, the Italians slave to make a better life while WASPs like Peter kick us in the face. And don't sit there rolling your eyes, whities, because I know you would support this if another minority wrote this, but simply because you think I'm Italian you blow this off. "I'll pretend to give a rats ass about what blacks and asians say because it's the cool thing to do, but I don't care about Italians." You're hypocrites. All minorities, Italians, blacks, hispanics, need to come together.

Italians make great food have great family relationships (better then most English and Americans) nothing is more important then there family. Italy is a cultured country you can't judge Italians by what the American-Italians are like trust me i am Italian although i live in England ive been bought up in a more Italian way

Italian is a beautiful language and should be taught in more schools. I hope I am not missing anything in the pronunciation.

A person from Italy or from Italian decent; sometimes speaks Italian or has family memebers who speak it(Or spoke it if they're dead) They are NOT ANYTHING like the Guidos who are "Italian". The image these fake American Guidos are making Italians as a whole look like the American snobby "Guidos". In fact, thinking this about the Italian culture, is a steryotype
