7 Reddit comments about Are Italians White?:

If anyone's interested in the debate over this, Jennifer Guglielmo's "Are Italians White? How race is Made in America" discusses this question thoroughly. It's a collection of essays that is pretty thought-provoking when one considers the the history of Italian immigration and the different ways in which "whiteness" has been defined.

Here's the Amazon link, if anyone is interested:

How so? Italians and Irish were, at one point in time, not considered white and so discrimination against them would, indeed, be racism, at least back in those days. What I'm saying is that deporting everyone except for one race will just lead to the creation of new races to discriminate against because, at its heart, racism is the desire to assert one's superiority based on inherent, inborn qualities -- if this desire is thwarted, people will simply find new outlets.
