IIT: we will talk about Italian Americans and how they have enhanced American culture. I'll start

Changed the Film Industry.
>Coppola
>Scorsese
>De Niro
Italy wins all the Palme D'ors and Foreign language oscars, it must be genetic.
>>76144249
Mediterraneans are truly the master race, but /pol/ can't accept it.
>>76143702
You guys aren't white
>>76143702
>want to shitpost about non-white Mediterraneans
>but based Dino is too perfect and fully redeems the entire country
>>76144375
If Italians are brown I don't want to be white.
>>76143702
Italians created western civilization. You wouldn't be on here browsing /pol/ if it weren't for the Romans. You'd be eating scraps of raw flesh off a dead rabbit after the tribe alphas were done with it.
>>76143702
>>76143702
No, they refused to integrate and caused widespread violence. They're basically the Syrian Refugees of America.
>>76144795
But the Italians didn't commit terrorist attacks, also we brought wine, pizza, and made the godfather. Just admit it we are bro teir

Amadeo Pietro Giannini, founder of Bank of America.
>The history of Bank of America dates back to October 17, 1904,[1] when Amadeo Pietro Giannini founded the Bank of Italy in San Francisco. The Bank of Italy served the needs of many immigrants settling in the United States at that time, a service denied to them by the existing American banks who were typically discriminatory and often denied service to all but the wealthiest.[18] Giannini was raised by his mother and stepfather Lorenzo Scatena, as his father was fatally shot over a pay dispute with an employee.[19] When the 1906 San Francisco earthquake struck, Giannini was able to save all deposits out of the bank building and away from the fires. Because San Francisco's banks were in smoldering ruins and unable to open their vaults, Giannini was able to use the rescued funds to commence lending within a few days of the disaster. From a makeshift desk consisting of a few planks over two barrels, he lent money to those who wished to rebuild.

Pretty much ruined my home state of New Jersey. Wish they would've stayed in NYC.
>>76144795
Leaf, who the hell are you to talk? All ethnic groups did this at one point or another. Just look at fucking QUEBEC.
Or the Irish. They were more publicly violent and obnoxious than the Italians ever were.
Badabing badaboom
I fucking hate Italians
Fuck them and fuck their families
For someone reason this korean chick I've been fucking obsessed for four years likes Italian culture and guys. She has an Italian bf.
Fuck you cunts
Fuck you every Italian on earth

Don't know if trolling or being serious
>>76145323
>Canadian cuck mad that an Italian chad stole his yellow fever crush
The best part about being Italian is that women from all races are attracted to you.
>>76144375
We are if you exclude the Sicilians.
gorgeous women
How does it feel to look like sandnigger
>>76145559
fucking this hahaha Sicilians are nigger rape babies
>>76145323
>>76145708
Those are Albanians you fucking faggot
>>76145724
Niggers never stepped foot in Italy (the Moors were Arabs). Sicilians are Lebs at worst.

>Other companies founded by Italian Americans – such as Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, Progresso, Planters Peanuts, Contadina, Chef Boyardee, Italian Swiss Colony wines and Jacuzzi – became nationally known brand names in time. An Italian immigrant, Italo Marciony (Marcioni), is credited with inventing the earliest version of an ice cream cone in 1898.
I'm noticing a pattern
>>76146277
Don't sweat the small stuff
t. Napolitano
I've always wondered, can you second or third generation Italian Americans understand or speak Italian?
I'd imagine older generations Italian Americans who originally emigrated there can.
But do they speak Italian in the house?
>>76146277
>Unironically believing in the Nordic Rome myth
>>76146557
Some do, some don't. It really depends on whether or not their families stayed where they first arrived. Italians in the US always seem to be able to find other Italians in their general area and network.
>>76143702
Why am I the only Italian who looks white?
>>76146277
At least you're not semi-brown and potentially discriminated against or mistaken for a mexican.
There's nothing wrong with being Sicilian or from the south.
People in the south here have a bad reputation because of their upbringing and the society that surrounds them.
The bad reputation Italian Americans get is because of the Italians who emigrated and replicated the bad society they had here.
>>76144375
>>76147042
why wouldn't italians be white?
random pic of people from the university of catania in sicily
>>76147042
No nigga
>>76147212
Italians are white, its just this dumb /pol/ meme.
>>76146557
I honestly can't understand it. My great-grandparents who came over spoke it, but the family focused on learning English.
>>76146717
That's an Egyptian
>>76146842
>Italians in the US always seem to be able to find other Italians in their general area and network.
That's also true for Italians who move within Italy.
Italians from the south who emigrated to the north are always around the same area and speak dialect.
>>76147480
How about these ones?
>>76143702
>made immigration look good
>enhanced american culture
no, they should of stayed in italy to make italy great again
t. italian that thinks ancestors were cowards
>>76147480
>That's an Egyptian
That's a portrait from Pompeii.
>>76144795
The funniest bit about this metaphor is that it implies they eventually do settle down in their own way and will contribute to society like any other group.
You know, just like how the Syrians will.
>>76144249
>the Film Industry.
>made anti-white propaganda
>a good thing
fuck off
>>76148019
So? It looks exactly like the guys in the Fayum mummy portraits. Those are Egyptians, not Romans or Greeks.
>>76147872
That looks about right. The statues tend to lack a tan.
>>76148169
>The Godfather
>Anti white
Pick one gook
>>76148301
How did an Egyptian that wasn't a slave wind up in Pompeii? Those two must have been pretty important and/or wealthy to have that painting commissioned.
>>76148359
it is anti-white
it makes italians look like a bunch of inbred mafia scum
watching The Sopranos rn
bretty good
didnt know mafia italians were afraid of licking pussy
Well, the Italians jump-started organized crime in the US, which sort of serves as a way to keep major police forces in check, so that's not too bad... But other than that, they just kinda contribute to the work force and stuff. I don't know any other ways.
>>76143702
>Criminal Americans
>>76148450
they're not afraid it just makes them look like dogs
>>76148149
Except non European towns still have high crime in the present day
they take care of the single mothers
>>76143702
Italians paved the way for Hispanics like me to be considered white, so thank you for your contribution
Fucking piece of shit culture
subhumans
>>76148424
Yes, they were probably wealthy foreigners.
Remember, this is the Roman Empire we're talking about. Even if Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy Jewish merchant, didn't own mines in Britain, the fact that the legend grew makes it plausible that non-Romans did travel across the Empire.
Considering that the Egyptian grain barges to Ostia were considered to be the linchpin to the daily survival of the city of Rome, it's highly possible that at least a small community of wealthy foreigners lived in Ostia and owned estates in Pompeii.
Italians brought us IL Duce, Sphegeti , and Romans
>>76144375
Y-you too.
>italian americans: went through prejudice and poverty as they settled in america, eventually building their own communities which expanded into the american way of life. They then assimilated, offering their knowledge of hardwork, cooking, philisophical ideas and culture while still appreciating and having a passion to pursue the American Dream
>Mexicans: ah no me com to work in the americanas becus me no get work in mehico, i not want to be citizen. No pay tax.. Ah no.....ibhave family in mehico.... I bring them hrre but no pay tax
>Blacks: brought to the states as slaves due to slave trading being a profitable business. After slave trading was stopped by the british navy, the americans freed slaves offering them to live as americans. It would be tough at first but the progressive mentallity of americans accepted them, allowed their culture to grow and finally assimilate in to the american way of life allowing them to class themselves as african americans. The blacks decided to throw this gesture into a fire and complain that it got burned. Now they complain that they have equal rights and have to take care of themselves whilst conatantly chasing boogeymen that dont exist
>>76148678
Those are greek people at Olympia.
>>76143702
I am a great Italian American. Appreciate me!!!

>>76145559
But Sicilians are awesome.
>>76148301

Dude those dudes are confirmed for not even being Italian

?
>>76149580
no one in that pic is brown. There are some people that are darker/swarthier but all in all they're marginally darker than northern euros
>>76149760
>no one in that pic is brown

>>76146557
My mom is fluent but on my Dad's side he said "we are Americans now" and the language died out. Sad really, I'm trying to learn and Italian citizenship is my birthright and it Hillary gets elected I'm going to Sicily to teach english to my people. I'm 3rd generation
>>76149831
what an intelligent comment
> tfw no Roman cutie
>>76149441
>What do girls like?
money and power
>>76149909
There is not a single white person in that photo, you're obviously a moron and not worth engaging in serious discussion. Nothing I say will change your mind, you are most likely a shitskin yourself and you seem to believe yourself white(much like the Italians do) and it isn't my job to help subhumans out of their delusions.
>>76148436
With loyalty and strong family values
>>76149878
>my people
>I'm 3rd generation
????? We Americans are your people. Were you born in Italy?
No
Is your native language Italian?
No
You're an American
Unless you're first gen maybe even second you are a full American
>>76149878
I wouldn't recommend teaching anything in Sicily. Things are poorly organized and the best students get out of Sicily and the south in general.
PIZZA!!
>>76150113
>You're an American
I'm also considered Italian by the Italian government. Both sides of my family are from Sicily.
>>76150249
Yeah but the South needs help. They need to learn English and contribute to Italy and the global economy. But I know what you mean
>>76143702
I have an Italian name but I look German lol
>>76145559
>tfw all 4 grandparents are from siciliy
>still whtie
feels good
>>76150294
>I'm also considered Italian by the Italian government.
Italy really views diaspora as Italian citizens?
shit culture, shit people
fuck italians
>>76149468
>But Sicilians are awesome.
The ones who aren't criminals are awesome. But am I wrong in thinking that the last great Sicilian scientist was Archimedes?
Look I know the island has some major problems in terms of the constant earthquakes. That's not anyone's fault.
But the crime and corruption only makes it that much harder for the island to recover. I know the city my great-grandparents came from is no jewel. The trash collection in Naples is owned by the mob.
Anyways, maybe I'm wrong about the Sicilians.
I do like Capra. His films are superb.
>>76146842
>Italians in the US always seem to be able to find other Italians in their general area and network.
You'll find most immigrant groups have largely stayed where they lived back in the year 1900.
Checking in
>>76150547
Yes, unless both his parents lost their citizenship: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jus_sanguinis
>The nationality law of Italy bestows citizenship jure sanguinis. There is no limit of generations for the citizenship via blood.
>>76150547
yup.
>Inheritance of Italian citizenship is available through a concept called Jure Sanguinis or citizenship by descent. This concept relates to a person’s birthright or blood heritage to claim citizenship to Italy, based on the fact that they are descendants of an Italian citizen.
http://www.italianamericancitizenship.com/
Broadly speaking you only need to be related to an Italian citizen, you don't even need it on both sides like I do
>>76150953
Wow, thanks for shitting up the northeast guinea fucking trash.
>>76151009
Damn. Is it common for Americans to go back to Italy? What are Italians thoughts on Italian Americans?
We tend to settle in the same areas as the Irish.
>>76150498
BRO
California or east coast?
>>76151217
east coast :^)
new jersey actually
please don't judge me
>tfw my nonno evaded a court trial many years ago that he would've likely lost in Abruzzo
>Because of this, we can't visit my mother's hometown
I guess I can just visit my dad's side in Venice
>>76150694
Italy has always had great people but their talents were lost to their corrupt or incompetent rulers (or in this case the mafia which serve as local rulers in some areas)
>>76151157
I've never heard of any second or third generation Italian American who "returned" to Italy, we only get migrants from poor countries and South America.
Italian Americans are viewed as cowards or traitors at worst and people who went on to look for adventures.
But if one were to came back for life any Italian would make them feel at home and view them as one of our people even if he didn't speak the language.
25% Florentian 75% pure bavarian phenotype
Perfect mix of superior northern italian taste and german masterrace sausage connoisseur
>>76151770
>any Italian would make them feel at home and view them as one of our people even if he didn't speak the language.
That's nice. It is pretty cowardly to leave that is true. But It was pretty much only in the South and Sicily that people left, cuz things were really bad. Lots and lots of people left for USA and S. America. There just weren't jobs.
>>76151458
Did your nonno run off to Canada to escape the Italian prison or what? Is he alive?
Are you explicitly forbidden from visiting the town or are you afraid of getting caught up in problems with the law?
Depending on how long ago that was the statute of limitation most likely ran out.
>>76152012
If you have a family, and most likely lost part of it in a war just 20 years before, you would probably want to run away too
>>76152161
My parents are actually really old. 39 and 36 when they had my sister. It was before WW1 when everyone came over and eventually came to California
>>76150991
Hi.
