Italians means two things.North Italians and South Italians.
Once a lot of southern italians went to Usa.Since some southern italians have olive skin,the angloes thought that all italians should have olive skin,dark eyes and dark hair.While north italians have lot of central european r1b haplogroup blood and can't be distingushed by central europeans,south italians with many exceptions fit the classic mediterranean type that doesn't mean they are black,but that they have a lot of greek blood from back in the past.
Unfortunately these southern italians(mostly american\italians)have been brainwashed that their features are due to africans,then some of them happily say that it is the truth and take down the whole Italy in their assumption making never a distinction between them and north italians.
South Italians also brought mafia to Usa,but that doesn't mean that all italians and specifically north italians are in mafia.
North Italians created renaissance,Da Vinci,Machiavelli,Florence,Venice,Pisa,Michelangel the first university in Europe and so on and most of them are blonde blue eyed.
Venice,Pisa,Genoa and Florence fought all the middle age against arabs.Central north italians have not olive skins,and our regions are the richest in Europe,with a pil that overclass England and Germany too.
North italians have not any subsaharan blood,despite american angloes who have been targeted as the most mixed in the world.

Victims of stupid Americans bastardizing their heritage to try and sound cool and/or tough. So-called "Italians" talk with fake Brooklyn accents, eat Chef Boyardee ravioli and Domino's Pizza, and keep the first three buttons of their shirts unbuttoned so as to expose unsightly, bristly black chest hair, often complemented by a gold chain necklace. Calls friends "paizan" or "gumba" and thinks phrases such as "Donde esta?" and "'Ey chico!" are Italian. Often claims ties to the mafia in whatever major city is closest to the suburb they live in. Usually feel the need to make proclaimations such as "Yo, I'm Italian!"
"Yo, I'm 9% Italian. Respect me or I'll break ye' face and you'll be swimmin' wit' de fishes. Capisce? I tought so."

Originating from Italy. A genuine Italian is not the same as an Italian-American, the latter of which is a product of a bastardisation and incredibly innacurate representation of Italian culture. Although whether straight Italian or Italian-American, most of them gesticulate with their hands a lot, even when on the phone. This might also be a false stereotype, though
Yeah, this is real "Italian" Pizza.

Italians are hard working people who are loyal, and very family oriented. The best people ever! Italians arent consdered white. They wear the best suits and make the best clothes! They also wear a lot of hip-Hop clothes and because of that they are called "wiggers" and "wegros", but becuase Italians arent considered white, those terms dont apply to them and are nonexistent. Their culture is used by a lot of the Hip-Hop culture as they call themselves "Capone" "Gotti", Three 6 Mafia", wear sweats, call themselves "Gangstas" and love the Mob themed life and so on and so on.
Italian culture has been a part of Hip-Hop for mutiple decades now just like latinos have been a part of it since the 80's. So to the older generation of Italians saying the newest generation are a disgrace becuase of what they wear and etc, they just dont get that Italians who dress and act a certain way is just the Americanization of all cultures meshing together. The Italian culture hasent died or will it ever, it's alive and well, it's just evolved and added on due to living n America the country that we discovered, and since Italians discovered this country we have every right to call the shots as what to wear or how to act,if you dont like it move! So next time you see an Italian wearing FUBU and Kangol, dont say were ripping off anothers culture, other cultures rip us off all the time,so we will wear whatever we like, and if we dont mind rappers putting Italian culture in their rhymes then I doubt they care what we wear. Now thats the reality check. Paisans rule!
Who is this guy so cool James? Why you ask? Because he's Italian! Damn right.
