This might be the funniest thing I’ve read in a while, but I feel really guilty about laughing since Parenti is being genuine.

Can we make a sub called c/iluvcumtown and put these bad racist jokes about Italians there? Then I won’t be able to see them.

Look, we can critique Italian policy, the growing fascism, the economics, etc etc, but making fun of peoples accents is bad regardless of who it is.

This is a bad bit and is pretty exclusive.

I’m sorry, I just read this part and found it funny because the rest of the book is so serious but I understand that this may be hurtful to some, I’ll be more restrained about what I post.

Honestly it is funny in Parenti. The problem is when the racist quotes are separated from the critique, and then it is just a racist joke, which is not funny and not cool.

This isn’t making fun of italian-americans, it is criticizing those that make those stereotypes
