You joke, but that kind of prejudice is pretty hurtful in day to day life

    It's important to remember that the Italians and the Irish were treated as a low rung of American society not all that long ago.

    They are legitimate victims of the brunt of American hate.

    Is there anyone Americans haven't hated and/or discriminated against yet? Anyone ever not been a victim of the US?

    Counterpoint, CEO's death being praised by many. Seems like hatred is an equal opportunity thing, but some are more insulated to it than others.

    Is it though? You would be hurt if someone thought you were Italian? You must think pretty poorly of them lol

    In America since we came here and took the land from the natives we just assume everyone's family came from somewhere else at some point in recent history. A lot of families are very proud of their ancestry and talk about it a lot.

    Buddy, I'm German, I assure you I've been subjected to plenty of prejudice myself. Ever seen Die Hard? So flattering (not).
