As an Italian, I would love all the people who think Italians are white to watch "Sacco e Vanzetti".

“Sacco e Vanzetti”.

the synopses of their story doesn't indicate any race issues, can you elaborate further please?

At that time Italians were not widely considered white and it was acceptable to see them as prime suspects of crimes against corporate property and terrorism. Also, everyone expected the trial and subsequent execution to go down smoothly.
