Italians being "Treated like shit" is a massive exaggeration promoted by those reactionary, late-generation Americans trying to excuse their bigotry. Trust me, I grew up with this shit.

I'm as irony-poisoned as the next leftist, but I feel like "being racist but ironically" is kind of a bad look, at least if said systemic racism was less than a hundred years ago. Not gonna take it to /c/userunion or anything but I'm just not a huge fan
