Far from what Jersey Shore had led us to believe, Italians are not a clan of intoxicated orange people with bad tempers. Intead, they are a people who love to eat, love and live. They make up a majority of the most beautiful and talented people on the planet (and they're the best lovers).
This also happens to be the name of their language, one that is one of the most beautiful languages you will ever here (In line with French).

Very nice minority, very passionate about anything
Unfortunately their past was to be down there with us blacks on the list of most disliked minorities according to wasps But now one of the most popular populations of America's melting pot of culture. And blacks are cool now as well. One of these posters had it right, Italians, Blacks, and other minorites must unite!!!!!!

Italians are only those people born in Italy.
Italy is an western European country part of the EU.
Italy is one of the 8 most industrialised countries in the world. Italy is one of the 8 most powerful countries in the world and is part of the G8. Descendants of 19th century Italian emigrants to the USA cannot be consider Italians by culture/education/up-bringing/value, most of them cannot speak the Italian language (they generally speak a mix between a early 19th century southern Italian dialects and American English which would be incompressible to an Italian native). Italian currency is EURO (1 EURO = 1.5 US Dollar)
Every time I speak Italians American in New York I'll have to ask for them to repeat what they are saying in English as their Italian is incomprehensible to me.

The Most cultured nationality in the world. An Italian is a lively attractive person with great moral and family values. Great at cooking and very patriotic for Italy. We are not white, or black..we are Italian. Not all of us are members of the Cosa Nostra either. Its very hard to come across an Italian that's a Jackass. No matter what social class, Italians are respectful to anyone.
person 1: Hey, who's that amazing, attractive girl that cooks amazingly and is not in the mafia and has great moral and family values?
Person 2: Oh, that girl? why, shes an Italian!
