they're trying to make him sound insane by referring to his manifesto with vague and scary language so I think we got our answer
he's not just Italian, he's so Italian that he was named the way jowling kowling rowling would name a token Italian character in harry potter
I'm not white or Italian, I just like to complain on YouTube videos where a non Italian makes inauthentic Italian food.
Makes me feel like a real ally who is standing up for something.
I like to complain on YouTube videos where an Italian makes food with tomatoes and calls it authentic Italian food because tomatoes are Mexican. Get on my level.
So you heard it here, folks. Pizza is not Italian.
Pizza predates tomatoes in Italy.
Not what Italians call authentic pizza, it doesn't.
The majority of Caucasians have African genes.
Whiteness won't help here, this dude attacked the owner class. He's going to be smeared then locked up for the rest of his life.
What remains to be seen now is whether he gets better medical care in prison than he did via publicly available insurance.
Technically, all prison health care is publicly available
The answer to medical debt or trying to survive without health care .... murder a health insurance CEO, get thrown in jail and receive medical care while incarcerated.
CEOs hate this one trick

Well, he wasn't shot, choked to death, or mangled in the back of a police van at the time of arrest, so that's already a win for him.
there's also the 'being rich' thing

Took me a second to puzzle this out...
Just in case any of my fellow Europeans need an extra nudge in the right direction, this is relating to the guy who has been arrested for shooting the healthcare CEO, and nothing to do with people in Italy.
You mean the innocent man they arrested on suspicion of shooting the healthcare CEO
You mean the good samaritan who shot the CEO.
Thanks. I was really wondering what this was about.

Am from Italy, italians are the whitest of the whites. Rome, the church, the basis of modern Patriarchy and white supremacy was born and raised here folks
I'm from Italy as well. I always like to remember a quote from Charles Mingus, who at some point in his career had an entire black band with the exception of his sax player, Charlie Mariano. When asked about it, he answered something along of the lines of "He's not white, he's Italian."
Maybe the social meaning of ethnicity is really relative to the racist empires they're situated in and not on some sort of inherent value
yea, its because the Italians (and Irish, Chinese, etc as well) generally came to America later and were poorer than the British/French/Germans etc were, so they were often discriminated against (plus the mafia thing, but that also generally comes from being poorer)

I'm latino and I still do not understand how the fuck you man manage to live always looking at whiteness. Such an hysteria with the skin color.
Latinos also act prejudiced to those darker than them
Well I should have specified I'm not from US too. I realize there's racism eveywhere but classism is worse here in southamerica I believe. We aren't eveyday doing that colorism thing for sure.
I can confirm, I'm also Latino and received various compliments on my skin color. And my friend would refuse to go to the mall in the affluent part of town complaining that she felt discriminated against because of her darker complexion even though she's beautiful. It trips me out because people here swear up and down that racism doesn't exist saying there's only classism.
Edit to clarify that she felt discriminated against because of her skin color.
Well obviously you can't always look at the black ones, they disappear in the shadows. /joke
This took me too long to understand. Basically saying how Luigi is treated will determine if Italians are considered white. If he is treated with respect and not beaten while in custody Italians are confirmed as white people.
Thank you. I'm slow.
