This happens so much in Rio de la Plata "Somos blancos y europeos , somos italianos" which basically means "We're white and european, we're italian" ... but the thing they're actually saying is "I'm not native or black, fuck those people, I'm better than them".
When my in laws visited texas to see my brother in law though... in some rural parts, the advice was not to speak spanish.
As an Italian, I would love all the people who think Italians are white to watch "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.

In my state the rednecks are harder on latinos than they are on black people in general. I think it's simply because they're exposed to more black people.
It's a shame travel is so expensive. A good trip or two to centroamerica just might cure their bigotry.
