Italians are smart business people, they helped make this country what it is today. They're good lookin' , sexy, they speak with authority, their familes come first, Italians stick together to help others of their race. I'm 81% Italiano and 19% German.

The Romans basically ganked everything from the Greeks. So yeah, they're very similar, but the Greeks came first.

Fabio Liverani is part Somalian and part Italian.  He was born Italy but the skin tone is hence the Somalian side.

everyone on here is basically saying the same thing and they are right.  however if you are asking this you may still be unclear so i will give you some examples.\nRace: Caucasian\nCulture/Ethnic Group is Italian\nThey have the same racial background as other Caucasian but there beliefs on family, food and living are different because of their culture.  they celebrate different holidays or the same holidays in different ways.  Racially they are the same as French, English or White Americans but they have a different set of traditions

I don't know... I think it depends on who you ask. Most people I know consider Italians to be white, but others do not. Sicilians, in particular, have a greater north African and Arabic influence than northern Italians.\n\nI'm Sicilian and Calabrese, and I'm pretty pale. However, my grandfather, who was 100% Sicilian, was as dark as my biracial son. I wouldn't have considered him to be "white." So I suppose it all depends. \n\nIncidentally, I think it's just smarter and simpler to define yourself by the country you were born and raised in and not by your color or ethnic background. That would make me an American of Italian descent.

Don't be ridiculous!  One is a group of bloodthirsty thugs, masquerading as legitimate professionals, who in reality create nothing more than pain and misfortune in their wake amid their grab for continual payola...and the other is Italian!

Italian food and it crossover to American culture. The dishes made in Italy are probably different and Amercianize than they are in Italy

Oh come on! Italians had the mafia (a much organized gang) Puerto Ricans have gangs, and don't forget the Irish. Even white gangs  have existed, remember the ones with white sheets and white hoods) that went around killing Black Americans.  Gangs is not=Mexicans. Steal stuff? hey know lots of white collars who steal stuff (ENRON) And talking about illegal, how about all the businesses  illegally hiring illegals in the first place.  What an immature argument you put forth here.

That might be the formal name for the Italians, but the common nickname for Italy is the Azzuri.  That's all you need to know, is they're the Azzuri.  And they're known for their staunch defense.  And the Czechs, you're right-they don't have a nickname yet.

Definitely not.  Italians have a flavor and love for life they are relaxed and genuinely enjoy their existence from what I have experienced while stationed there.
