italian

the most narcissistic people on earth. If you see someone and they are italian they will make sure that you know that they are italian. being proud of your heritage is fine but shoving it into other peoples faces isnt. need to realise that the only people who think italians are great, are italians.

that italian marcus is always wearing that stupid ''italia'' sweater.

italians

Italians have the 7th highest GDP in the world and the 4th highest in Europe, almost exactly the same as the UK. The average Italian has an IQ of 102, the highest in Europe, tied with Germany, Austria and the Netherlands, making it higher than the UK, France, Sweden, China, THE USA, etc. Most Italian-Americans come from Sicily. Most Italians DO NOT consider Sicilians Italian. Sicilians are Italians heavily mixed with Arabs. Sicily was also once a prison island similar to Alcatraz and when Italy stopped financing them the prisoners were released and built communities there. When you ask people from Northern/Central Italy if Sicilians are Italian they will definitely say no. However Sicilians mistakenly call themselves Italians so that they can sound higher up the social scale, which is bad for real Italians as all modern day stereotypes stem from Sicilians. Historically, almost every mobster has come from Sicily as organized crime was common there. Al Capone, the Gotti's, the Jersey Shore etc. are all Sicilian. Northern/Central Italians are the same skin color as Germans but have darker hair and are usually hairier, like the French. Milan (Northern Italy) is one of the most powerful and wealthiest cities in the world and is the fashion capital of the world along with NYC. If you ever go to Northern Italy you will also notice that many of them are very nice/accepting and soft spoken.

American: You have family in the mafia?

Sicilian: Oh yea, you know us Italians.

Italian: Where in Italy are you from?

Sicilian: Sicily.

Italian: EXACTLY.

Italian

please, i beg of you, don't listen to what 95% of the definitions on here tell you.
we are people who come from italy. we have a LOT of different spoken dialects and cultures and were blessed with a beautiful language.
the definitions that say derogatory things against people who aren't italian make me wanna puke.
so no, MOST of us aren't as bad as we might seem from these god-awful definitions. of course, we have flaws, but we're decent people, y'know? the people on here that put down others and act as if italians are the only people who get stereotyped make me want to roll up into a ball and become korean /j
also, if you happen to be one of the *probably* few people that believe we're some sort of super intelligent beings, let me educate you.
while we do have an extremely rich cultural history that should be known and respected, unfortunately we are no longer like that.
yes, most of us are very smart and fun people to be around! we have, as you've probably heard before, great values, great family, great food, etc. but that doesn't speak for every italian.
for example, i'm literally a furry, neopronoun user and weeb... a.k.a , NOT what people would expect when they think of an italian girl.

i apologize on behalf of my entire nationality for the terrible people who think that italians are better than everyone and think it's okay to put down other cultures just because they like their own.

sane human being 1: hey, did you notice how this urbandictionary definition of the word 'italian' uses multiple slurs and is blatantly racist and offensive towards other nationalities?

sane human being 2: yeah, that's so disgusting...

internet degenerate: AAAAAAA HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME FOR CLAIMING THAT WHAT I'M SAYING IS OFFENSIVE?!?!?!??!?!? SURE, I DEGRADED MEXICANS AND BOILED ITALIAN PEOPLE DOWN TO NOTHING BUT THE 'SUPER ROMANTIC AND AMAZING' STEREOTYPE, BUT IT'S OKAY!!!!!!! BECAUSE I'M ITALIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *mumbling* fake ghetto wannabe...
