[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My maiden name was like that. It’s Italian and pretty unusual. A lot more common in New England where there are more Italians, but my dad’s side of the family had to settle in the rural Midwest for some bizarre reason where they were big weirdos for being Italian and Catholic. Yes, it feels micro-aggression-ish and “othering.” Can’t tell you how many times I had the “wow where are you from? No like, where are you FROMMMM???” Conversation as a kid and left it feeling like utter crap. There were lots of places back then (still places like that now but less common) where you’d get some heat for not being the “right kind” of white person. [/quote] We might have the same name. Sicilian? [/quote]
