Which European ethnic group in America suffers more prejudice, Poles or Italians?
964889
The Polish have suffered and still suffer the most.  I am from a town with about 40% Polish, 40% Italian, 10% German, and the rest of us who were thought of as nothings.  The Italians owned the businesses and controlled about 90% of the wealth (the Germans the other 10%), while the Polish were constantly made fun of and made up the majority of the blue collar workers and menial laborers.

Depends... if you're talking about America the country and it's foreign policy... If that is what you hate.. no. I despise all of the nation states between Turkey and the Japan, but I'm not racist because I have friends from many of those counries and like them.  But, if it means to hate Americans themselves, then you hate ALL races. Everyone has the potential to be an American. But, you can't move to Italy and be Italian. Or France to be French. And you certainly can't Indian or Arabic unless you were born that way. Americans are bound by ethnicity. \n\nYou're stupid to be Anti-American. The world without America would be rubble. We KEEP the peace.

And before the Italians, it was the Irish who were discriminated against in the eastern seaboard. And in the West Coast, it was the Chinese and the Japanese and the Filipinos. And there's slavery. And land taking from indigenous people and other nations' territories while denigrating the original inhabitants who remain. American history is loaded with ethnic exclusion and discrimination. This shouldn't be shocking.

Take it a step further: why are there some white people that can be proud of their heritage (Irish, Scots, Italians), but other white people who can't (English, American)

Social Darwinism, one of the primary racist philosophies, basically says that races have the right to do to each other whatever they wish.  Therefore, according to many racists, Europeans deserved America because they had superior technology and easily disposed of the Native Americans.  White Supremacists would probably say Native Americans weren't using the land anyways.

I'm Italian, my husband is African American. We live in Germany in an area with a lot of US. Army installation. Soldiers have a bad reputation around here because they seem to fu** around a lot, excuse my language, but it is what it is. We do get a lot of looks from people, but nobody actually ever said anything to us, except for some black women.... we have been to the states and they stare a little harder there and people ignore my husband, or both of us,  like a waiter when we were in Alabama. But over all i think it is becoming a more accepted thing in society at least i hope so. and fu** everybody else, as long as you don't have a problem it is all good. Let them deal with their issues and don't worry so much what other people might think.\n\nbut i am very surprised to see how many people here are narrow minded and exclude any kind of interracial anything... where do ya'll live??? This is an interracial society, you might as well get used to it and get over your racism.

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.

Sorry that you had to endure that. The truth is that not only Americans, but some amount of people from all cultures have these prejudices. And they even have these prejudices against people who have no say-so in who they are, for example if your parents happen to be of different races, these prejudiced people often are rude to the child who had nothing to do with their parents' decision to have children. The best thing to do is ignore them without being rude--you don't want to engage them in any fights. And remember that prejudice is based on ignorance, so you will more than likely not be able to reason with them. Ignore them and live your life. And best of luck to you and your wife.

It's always been that way, throughout history.  The Dutch hated the British, the British hated the French and the Irish, the Irish hated the Italians, and now everybody hates Latinos.\n\nNot really, a lot of us like them just fine.  But this is nothing new.\n\nInteresting what pflippy99 says.  Many Latinos have more native American than Spanish blood in them... most Spanish people have light skin, dark hair, and blue eyes. But the conquistadors didn't bring their wives...\n\nBut even the "native" americans came here from somewhere else.  Human beings evolved in Africa.

If anyone lives in a diverse community they are bound to be discriminated against. I have had blatant discrimination, which shocked me, then angered me. After I forgave the ignorant attack and realized others endure much more, much more often than I do.\n\nI have a lot of friends outside of my race, I am perplexed often by their(some not all)preoccupation with race (mine and theirs) and how their identity is so wrapped up in being Black, Peurto Rician or Dominican etc. I generally do not think about my race, I'm white and I think in general whites do not allow race to identify them, unless they are racists. I actually get uncomfortable when I am introduced as Italian-American ...I am not uncomfortable with my heritage, just being labeled in a way that makes being Italian-American seem like the second most important thing for someone I am introduced to know about me.

I am Italian and live in Italy but have worked for US companies for many years and know many Americans.\n\nI think the answer to your question changes according to whom you address it to!\n\n- To some REAL AMERICANS are only the WHITES of ANGLOSAXON ORIGINS who originally went to America to colonize it. They are the more "extremistic" but they also have some good values that would deserve more attention\n- To some REAL AMERICANS are all those who entered, enter and will enter US LEGALLY, no matter what their nationality is.\n- To some REAL AMERICANS are only those who colonized the continent over a certain period of time (which is why also Black people can be considered REAL AMERICANS)\n- To some REAL AMERICANS are ALL those who believe in American Values (Or those that have remained), while all the others are not Americans.\n\nIn actual fact, in regard to immigration, there is NO REAL AMERICAN as the definition of IMMIGRATE, be it legal or illegal excludes the fact that one is AMERICAN; nor can someone who got an US citizenship two days, weeks, months ago, be considered A REAL AMERICAN, since he doesn't have "absorbed" any of those values (love for your country, belief in GOD etc etc), which characterize a REAL AMERICAN.\nA REAL AMERICAN IMMIGRATE, to me, is the one who, having entered the US LEGALLY, has put roots in a given place and has accepted and adopted the same values and lifestyle of the country feeding him, without biting the hand that's feeding you. This doesn't mean he cannot complain about what goes and doesn't go, but simply mean sometimes it's better to shut up than open his mouth to eat air.\nThe point with the US is that while on the one side the government monitors everyone's life, on the other side they allow too many people to do what they want to avoid being considered racist. And there is a great difference between being RACIST and BOWING with your BUTT pointed towards these hords of people coming in and WANTING WANTING WANTING WANTING without GIVING GIVING GIVING GIVING.
