[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are Italians POC?

Or Japanese?[/quote]

Not any more. Yes.

[b]I’m older, and as an Italian-American, I remember being a kid and feeling othered, and I have even been known to comment on “white people food” .[/b] But that’s pretty much gone now. True WASP dominance is gone in terms of snobbery, and it’s evolved into lower-class white racial BS.[/quote]

Woah, how old are you?   My grandparents are dead, but would be in their late 90s if they were still alive, and I never heard them refer to Italian Americans as "othered"--and yeah, if they really felt that way I would have known.   They grew up as Irish-Americans in Boston.[/quote]

Well, Love Story is from the 1970s. The term *w0p” pretty much disappeared only in the last 30 years. And think about who wasn’t allowed in the country club. Did we have it as bad as the Blacks? No, of course not. But this is not from the turn of the 20th century, either.[/quote]

I'm in my early 50's and of Sicilian descent. I agree with PP. I saw a couple of fights in school over that word being used.

Funny story-before my dad was elderly, he had black hair, dark brown eyes and tan skin. He traveled for business and he ALWAYS got taken out of the line at airport security for a pat down! It was a running joke at our house.

We consider ourselves white though.[/quote]
