Why were Souther Europeans rejected in the U.S and Australia?
They are Catholics.
Can't have what we use as a substitute for Jews in our conspiracy theories in our countries, can we?

Cause they were insecure of their own whiteness so they have to bash others to feel better and avoid being suspected.
>>882798
they were?

Catholics. Same reason why the irish were rejected.
I mean, just go read some anglo literature about catholics from the 1750-1850 period, it's downright hilarious. They made /pol/ look like swedes.

Unlike the italians and irish, the french arrived on the continent as first colonizers for the most part, and even the late immigration from Canada was focused on scarcely populated areas of the country. This meant less conflict with the established inhabitants. Compare with the italians and irish arriving en masse to port cities and mostly staying in the surrounding areas, overloading the local job market and infrastructures.

They were poor uneducated peasants immigrating to already kinda full countries. This is always going to cause resentment in the locals, regardless of your culture. Hell the fucking germs were discriminated against in 19th century US.

Catholics primarily, but they were often stereotyped as having a Med complexion, and there were some movements in the "racial sciences" community (mostly among the Nordicists) to classify Mediterraneans as being their own distinct group.

What, no country is "full" until it's horrendously over-populated, with no true wild spaces left and infrastructure in the cities and settled areas overwhelmed the numbers trying to use it? That was precisely what we were trying to avoid.

Mussolini himself followed "Mediterraneanism", which asserted that Mediterraneans were distinct from Germanics.
