Why calling italianx people "white" is racist, a thread (1/4)
1. First of all, it completely invalidates their status as WPOC, and it contributes towards their oppression as a minority when compared to the rest of Europe. The majority of them are working class cooks in small business pizzerias, they're literally marginalized.
2. Here are some anti-italianx slurs you should try to avoid (TW: Uncensored)

- Mama mia
- Fredo
- Luigi
- Mario
- Mafia
- Pasta People
3. Please listen to the italianx community!!! This is really serious and people don't pay enough attention to it.
4. There's also a lot of phrases and gestures that people use as a joke but they're incredibly insensitive

"I cooka da pizza"
*Italianx cultural hand gesture*
"I eata da meatball"

Etc. Etc.
Everyone who thought this was serious, this you?
