@diaryofadualcitizen: #stitch with @your mom Are Italians white? If we’re talking about Italian-Americans *today* in the US 🇺🇸 ? Of course, but there’s a lot more to it. Then re: modern-day Italy, it’s not the same country our ancestors (sometimes even parents+grandparents) left many decades ago. Of course, compared to the US there are few BIPOC here… but compared to the Italy of just 20 years ago, the number of non-Italian born residents has skyrocketed & Italy has to eventually face the fact that it’s becoming a multicultural/ethnic nation 🇮🇹 #americaninitaly #expatinitaly #lifeinitaly #italianamerican #italianamericanhistory

I’m Sicilian Italian also, my grandma tells me they used to be called “black Italian” because her, her sister, brother and father were so dark

my parents are sicilian/calabrese and my DNA test shows such a mix of North African, Middle Eastern, Greek, and Moroccan. I was only 10% white

There’s a book called “The History of Whiteness” and it talks about how all of the European minorities seen an non white were absorbed into whiteness in America as a counter act to the rise of black populations in cities after the Great Depression. The book uses New York as a case study and the last group to be grouped into whiteness were Jews after the Italians and Irish were

My husband is from Naples Italy. He gets mad if you call him yt and I think that has more to do with not wanting to be confused as it American. He says I'm Italian not yt.

Bro race isn’t real. Ethnicity is real but race is not. Race is just a way for governments to categorize their population. Look it up, there isn’t a standard for what ethnicities make up races country to country. It’s literally made up.

sono siciliano e non mi considero mixed, né ho la pelle scura e capelli ricci ma sono siciliano da generazioni... non esiste il concetto di etnicità come la intendono negli USA.

So many southern Italians/Sicilians are also a mix of middle eastern, African, Greek, Albanian, Egyptian, and so many other things due to migration a long long time ago!!! It’s so interesting to learn about where your ancestors came from!

WOW, ty! I’m mostly Sicilian via Sicilian immigrants to New Orleans in 1880s. Lots of us there, yet NOBODY retained the language bec it was so hostile for them. The only impact we have is on the food!

as a southern italian myself I will add that up until 3-4 years ago some people from the north would say that "anything below the river Po is Africa", reason why they would choose not to SPEAK to us
