Let's be Italian-Americans!

I’m the big dick.

I’m the squeaky clean hole.

I'm the mozzarella/ricotta for the lasagna alla Toms River.

I'm not scared of anyone. Not blacks. Not whites. No one.

I’m the emotion that flows so freely from generation to generation. I am love.

[quote] Nobody fucks around with Italian-American neighborhoods. Not black, not white. No one.

I'M WALKING HERE

They are some motherfuckers.

I shoot CEOs who had it comin.

The only whites who consistently top black bottoms.

The only Italians (not necessarily Americans) I’ve been with have been bottoms.

Io sono bianco.

Italian-Americans don't take shit from no one.

Fuhgeddaboudit.

They are the fight that you don't want.

I’m the Blessed Mother statues.

I'm spaghetti

I'm the men's impeccable anal hygiene.

Luigi is so hot

I'm Luigi's hairy butt hairs.

Bullshit, R4, they are just like rednecks, all afraid of their mothers. That’s why so many are still in the closet. Example: Vinny from Jersey Shore

R21 has a vivid imagination.

R22, agreed

Gabagool? OVA HERE!

Always the violent, slightly off, petty thieves of the neighborhood.

R25, that's us. We will fuck your shit up.

Got something to say, R25?

I’m the collective disgust at “The Olive Garden”.

I’m Madonna. I have the hairiest beaver around.

Yeah, R27, this thread is bringing back memories of all the crazy, violent Italians I grew up with in Brooklyn. It was like living with moolinyans who knew how to cook.

I’m the bigotry and homophobia. But I’m also the shrewd I don’t give a fuck about societal norms.

Hi everyone, I am a human garbage can.

R30, I bet you got punched a lot.

I’m being a rightwing gay, also pretty ugly, having bounced around a lot and never really able to make it wherever I’ve lived, so now I’m in flyover. I live in suburban Pittsburgh. Yeah, I know.

Anyway I’m pretty unlikable and I’m a gay Republican so the republicans don’t like me because I’m gay, and the gays don’t like me because I’m Republican. And nobody likes me because I’m obnoxious. I’m pretty bitter and lonely. There are a couple of rightwing gays on Twitter who follow me and like the disgusting racist or rightwing cartoons I post.

I’ve found this anonymous forum for gays and this is where I vent most of my anger. They’re mostly liberals so fuck them, I’ll do what I want and if it bothers them, good. I’m lonely and desperate for attention so I’ll post provocative shit and then enjoy the responses, because that’s better than being ignored.

I mostly post stuff to mislead people, my goal being to suggest people different from me — different colors or religion, or liberals — are evil or subhuman or out to destroy the USA. It’s all bullshit but that’s how we rightwingers roll.

But the angry responses are not enough for me, so I cosplay a lot on there too, mostly as foolish black people, which is fun because I get to ridicule them. People know I do it and it annoys them, so that’s more attention for me.

I’ve posted about half of the posts in this thread.

Physically, what do I look like? Imagine a very drunk girl goes into White Castle and eats too much, then as she’s staggering back to her car she vomits it all out on the asphalt in a steaming pile. That pile is what I look like. So I’m the same on the outside as I am on the inside.

Actually, I wasn't R33. Almost came to blows when I had to retrieve my sister's bike stolen by one of the neighborhood Italian punks. Saw a lot of violence and anger and never could understand what the fuck was wrong with these people. The last time I had fun with Italian neighbors was a few years ago when the crazy Italian bitch next door accused me of emptying a bag of trash in her hallway. Claims her friend, probably named Antonella, saw me do it. I live in a much nicer neighborhood now.

Can't you be a good Catholic for 15 fucking minutes??

I’m Dino Crocetti and I’m half in the bag

What do I look like, half a fag

I’m Justin Baldoni, and Blake is a big liar.

I'm beautiful until I'm 25-30 yrs old and I then I go downhill faster than a fat kid on a sled after a snow storm.

Justin Baldoni still looks great and he’s 41. In all honesty I think Italians age great. They age like black people even when they aren’t necessarily good looking. Italian and Greek-Americans age so well. Like I said, like black people.

The Baldoni Troll has entered the chat.

Can “footages” and “writings” be far away?

I'm glad the Baldoni Troll is here, so I can block the tedious old thing.

R19- Sorry but Luigi’s nothing special.

That Pizza 🍕 guy on Long Island Michael someone- VERY good looking.

I am def not the Baldoni troll even if I want to swallow his loads.

Faggedaboutit!

R50 must be new here. The real ones know exactly what r34 is talking about.

I'm the big pot of Sunday gravy simmering on the stove. Tear you off a piece of bread and dip it in for a taste.

I’m the mystique that never goes away. You can put reality up against me and it takes nothing away. I emerge intact every time. I’m familia, I’m cannoli, I’m the festa San Gennaro. I’m Napoli and Sicilia. Mott Street and bad guys in fedoras.

My people descended from Romans and even if they were born in the USA and live and die without ever seeing the old country, I waft through their memories and lend a magic to them that’s unlike any other.

I can’t be explained. Maybe I come from the art, or the olive groves, or the scientists. Maybe I’m a dream.

I’m an Albanian letting people think I’m Italian.

I’m white women with natural big asses.

I've never heard an Italian-American call sauce "gravy."

I’m Gianni Versace and I will completely revolutionize high fashion.

R62, Gianni was Italian-American?

R63 I always assumed he attained American citizenship but I could be wrong.

Let's be cuisine that is FAR better than French food.

I'm 100% Italian-American from South Orange NJ. I'm built like a brick shithouse. I have 9 thick uncut inches. I'm an exclusive bottom. I never fuck men. You got a problem with that?

I’m Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

Don't make me have to tell you again: "Keep my name out of your muthafucking mouth!"

I've been with lots of Italian-American men and they've all been HUNG and amazing in bed. They are unbelievable lovers.

Lotsa hot guys in Bensonhurst with short haired chubby wives. Bi guy I know with kids, told me "No matter what, she'll never leave me."

R61, you haven't lived in New Jersey.

r72 I'm partnered now but back in the day the Brooklyn Italian guys were like catnip to me. So hot, so masculine, so HUNG and the sex was insane. Sent my pasty white Irish-German ass into ecstasy.

R59 Glad you can pass. Albanians in New York own more pizza places than Italians.

I'm the barely thre mustache that appears when the boys turn 14 and the girls turn 12. For the girls, there's a race to get rid of the damn thing. For the boys, it's a sign that I'm a man and that three wil be much more hair in no time!

I’m the constant talking with their hands but not seeming girly.

R180, many Italian Americans learned the words of their forebears, who didn't speak Standard Italian, but the village dialects of Calabrese, Napulitano, and Sicilianu. These southern languages had vernacular features like final-vowel dropping and c/k/g, p/b, and r/d consonant interchange, resulting in the colorful words and phrases Italian American use today.

Jersey Italians will see "manicotti", "calamari", and "pasta e fagioli" on the menu but order "manigot", "galamad" and "pasta fazool" instead as a matter of pride.

[quote] Jersey Italians will see "manicotti", "calamari", and "pasta e fagioli" on the menu but order "manigot", "galamad" and "pasta fazool" instead as a matter of pride.

Mio dio,

Italy had over 50 dialects. Mussolini standardized the Italian language in the 1920s, and sent women to school. Before then, only upper-class Italian women were educated.

I'm the St. Anthony picture that is prayed to when someone loses their keys.

The only religious Italian Americans I know are old people. All the other Italian Americans are non-religious just like everyone else (well, white people anyway) these days.

[quote] All the other Italian Americans are non-religious just like everyone else (well, white people anyway) these days.

Unfortunately there's a large swath of the country where a significant portion of the population is religious.

Not on the East Coast, dear r192

Most Italians who I know who were born here under retirement age including myself are not religious. But I live in California so just like the rest of the country your mileage may vary.

Most Italian Americans are Catholic, and most American Catholics, even if they go to Mass semi-regularly are really just cultural Catholics. They tend to do their own thing on birth control, sex, divorce, abortion and the gays. Growing up East Coast urban Italian American in the 70s/80s those who took Church teaching with more than a passing grain of salt were mocked as being "more Catholic than the Pope."

There are hardline Catholics, more often than not they are recent converts, like our shit-head Vice President. And as church attendance continues to dwindle, those remaining are more likely to be of a more conservative bent, also all those liberal Vatican 2 priests of my childhood have died off, replaced by more hardline Indian and African imports - but now I only enter a church for funerals. The priests I knew growing up were pretty realistic about things -- nothing like the Bible-thumping Born Again types I first encountered in the Midwest, when I went away to college.

People like r185 is the reason why I am not a fan!

How well do they fuck? Are they selfish?

I'm the juice glass of wine.

Italians are like Jews: they’re culturally Catholic but not religious. Isabella Rossellini just discussed this in an interview. The Irish Catholics are the loons when it comes to religion. Italians were always more pagan. They have a saint to pray to for everything. They were ostracized by the Irish in the US over it. They used to make them hold mass in the basements of churches.

Italian-American families will bully their own but will band together and destroy any outsider who dares try to bully that same person. Italian-American family members are required to develop a very thick skin.

[quote]How well do they fuck? Are they selfish?

I've been with many Italian-American men and a few Italian-from-Italy men and they are amazing in bed. BIG dicks. Love having their asses eaten. Many are versatile. Not selfish in bed at all, they love to reciprocate. Very passionate and generous lovers. Every one I've had has been amazing.

I should add they love fair white guys. I'm Irish/German with pale skin, blue eyes and have a combination of Celtic/Germanic features and that particular "look" is very appealing to them.

Whoops I should add that I don't think Italians aren't "white." Of course they're white/caucasian, I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

[quote]The Irish Catholics are the loons when it comes to religion.

Even Irish Catholics these days are just culturally Catholic, along with all the other white ethnic groups. There aren't really any "Rose Kennedy" Irish Catholics left, unless they're very very old.

From my experience white caucasian American boys tend to be the most selfish lovers. Especially straight ones.

It really depends r205.

I don't want that spider monkey Luigi I want Long Island Pizza guy Mike.

Pizza guy Mike could wreck the fuck out of my hole.

R144 In a TV interview Ralph Macchio said knows his name is Ma-KEY-0.

“Say that again for me, a little slower. Purse those lips a little.”

Stugatz!

R167- Many Italian Americans (who are natch Catholic) want to build a shrine to the Virgin Mary. Without having a sculptor make one out of clay etc, a cheap way was to cut a bathtub in half and decorate it as a shrine. I was mistaken about one thing however- the clamshell Mary’s were made from giant molded clamshells like a grotto. With statue of Mary arising from inside the shell. It was more of a tradition in the middle century through 70’s.

What does Mary possess?

An intact hymen, R213

For R167.

Italians usually have beer can cocks.

[quote]Many Italian Americans (who are natch Catholic) want to build a shrine to the Virgin Mary.

I haven't seen Italians do that that in decades, in my neighborhood (Long Beach CA) it's switched to Asians worshiping Sister Mary on a Half Shell. I see crowds in front of this thing almost every day as I drove down Ocean Blvd.

Yeah, the Virgin Mary thing is Asian or Mexican. Not Italian.

r217 many DLers are in a strange time warp about many things, Irish and Italians being devout Catholics being one. The only Italians and Irish I know who are still very Catholic and go to church are elderly. Everybody else doesn't do religion.

R133, the future of Catholicism appears to be Vietnam/southeast Asia and Africa.

Irish-American Catholics still have issues with sex. I’m talking about the ones under 40. They get really weird about it and they’re usually anti-abortion and racist. I’m not saying all but A LOT.

Is it because their mothers were all maids?

R218 - The BVM in a garden niche was most certainly an Italian American thing in the 70s on Staten Island when I was growing up, but things change.

R221 as racist as the Italian Americans?

R223, we are talking about how the world is today, not 50 years ago. The Virgin Mary thing is and has been for the last few decades an Asian / Mexican thing. While Staten Island has a large Italian population, is not a microcosm of the rest of America where Italians reside. It's a quirky neighborhood with quirky traditions. Even in other Italian enclaves like in San Francisco, San Diego you will not see that same kind of Virgin Mary on a half shell thing. Italians outside the Tri-state area are WAY MORE RELAXED about religion. Most I know only go to a church for a wedding or a funeral. And even wedding in churches has died out quite a bit.

Even Italians in the tri-state area are pretty much like every other white ethnic group these days, non-religious. In CT Italian-Americans are indistinguishable from everybody else.

Virgin statues in the garden don’t necessarily mean the gardener is more religious - it’s usually an Italian American cultural totem of group identity - like wearing a crucifix or St Anthony medal.

In what decade was this, r227? I don't know any Italian-Americans who have the Virgin Mary statues in their yards here in the Northeast. Even years ago, I never saw this.

R225 is clueless. I’m an old and have lived in multiple States. While the BVM in a bathtub cuts across ethnic lines in several localities, it has always been an Italian-American thing. I live in California and just got some new neighbors two doors down. They (Italian-Americans) completely renovated the property, but the first thing they installed in the FRONT YARD was the BVM in a bathtub.

Odd r229, because you don't see that much anymore. Are they old?

See R117. Four to six hundred in one city near Boston. Article in Atlas Obscura datelined 2017.

" From your mouth to God's ears!!". Your Sicilian Aunts talking about you and your marital status

R199 those were separate masses said in Italian so the Italian speaking immigrants wouldn’t feel ostracized

R232 Sicilian Aunts become Sicilian Grandmas, and the manipulation and hijinks get worse over time.

The men are unapologetically male in both the best and worst ways.

R235- As long as they're unapologetically WELL HUNG.

R233, the masses were in Latin which Italians understood. They were cut off by the Irish.

R237 - as I understand it from talking to my mother Pre Vatican II the mass was always said in Latin, and the priest faces away from the congregation. The congregation really didn’t understand Church Latin, which has a different pronunciation than Classical Latin - but you followed along in a prayer book - so I assume most Catholics, no matter what language they spoke understood the gist of it by rote.

In the late 19th / early 20th cent there were Parishes formed to cater to specific immigrant groups - an Italian or Polish Parish would have Priests who spoke that language so they could give sermons, take confession and generally interact with their parishioners in their native tongue - Irish parishes obviously used English.

I've been dicked down by so many Italian guys and they've always been so passionate in bed. Amazing at sex.

R238, Pre-Vatican II, you learned basic words, prayers, songs, and liturgical rites in Ecclesiastical Latin in Catechesis. They stressed the importance of knowing the meaning and intent rather than reciting by rote. I assume that wasn't the case for many who never attended Catechesis.

Women were also required to wear chapel veils or mantillas when entering the house of God. Vatican II was such a major shift from the old ways that traditionalists broke away and formed their own churches.

How Italian are we talking? Does it pair well with something else? Like Irish or Mexican? Or perhaps Italian and Greek? That would seem to go well together.

Italian/Irish people tend to be very attractive.

We often come across as quite rude and boorish to the more passive cultures. Our humor does not translate well during these new touchy times.

Italian men are boors for sure.

I don't know about that, our friend Luigi left a backpack full of Monopoly money for the cops to find and bullet casings with cute sayings on them for the investigators to read.

R243 is posting from 1992.

Where can I find Italian downlow men?

That's black dudes r249. Italians don't need to be on the downlow if they want man to man sex.

R250,Oh really? How are they different?

I’m the ravioli

I’m the over representation in Hollywood 2nd only to the Jews.

R252- I LOVE ravioli. Italian food ANYDAY over French food.

R251, Italians are different because they are not as locked into religion as much as black folk in this country. Key words IN THIS COUNTRY aka USA. Therefore not the same amount of homophobia. Keep in mind, Italy is littered with statues and celebration of the naked male body. They are not as uptight about that as other cultures including Americans. Plus there is quite a history of gayness going back to the Romans. You really dont see that history out in the open with African Americans for example. It's shoved under the carpet. How many people could name a famous black man in history that was openly gay without Goggling a name or pointing to someone alive now like RuPaul?

R251, Italians don’t have the same homophobia the black community does. Italian families don’t care about that anymore.

Italian families (from Italy) I know accept gay family members but don’t speak of it often. It just is. In old days these gay family members sometimes became priests.

Let's not kid ourselves. There are a lot of Italian-American men (especially but not limited to being around a certain age) who can be quite toxic re: gay. I know because my dad was, and my older brothers were, but to their credit they improved when I came out as a homo.

Plenty of masculine Ital guys that range from closeted, undercover to married to discreet that hookup with men, New Jersey for example has a ton.

R254, Italian food is much quicker and less fussy for the same level of taste.

The French do kick our ass on pastry and baking though.

Italians make the best food 2nd only to Japanese. If it wasn’t so carbon monoxide I’d have Italian everyday.

We’re Italian-Americans in Brooklyn. We now worship Trump and think of nothing else.

R262 😂 Damn autotype changed carby to carbon monoxide. It’s amazing but yet simple words that can only be one thing it won’t auto edit. I might go back to Samsung.

R263, how disappointing, seeing as that's where my father was originally from.

I still say most Italian-Americans in Brooklyn are not Trump supporters. I just find that hard to believe. There is a lot of them but not most. Now those cunts on Staten Island. That’s a different breed.

R266, that's reassuring. Please tell me Dyker Heights isn't one of those Trump 'hoods (that's where dad was from).

It’s likely Bensonhurst and Coney Island. But there is so many of them in that neighborhood and Brooklyn is so liberal that a sizeable minority of opinion will stick out. There is no way over 50% of Italian-Americans living in Brooklyn voted Trump. Just no way. Yes I realize I’m sort of being auspie but it’s so painful when you think about all the Americans who did vote for Trump. Look at this shit we’re in.

It’s Bay Ridge. It’s Dyker. It’s all those areas.

[quote] There is no way over 50% of Italian-Americans living in Brooklyn voted Trump. Just no way.

I would hope not. My father grew up union Democrat 'til his death (even after unions died). He told me about all the nasty things said about him (and us) when he was young.

It's hard to imagine these same assholes turning around and going hard for the Trumps who would've had nothing to do with them just a few decades prior. How pathetic would that be?

The lower half of Brooklyn went red in 2024. The upper half was blue. There are a lot of Trump supporters in Brooklyn. There’s a guy who lives out of an RV with a Trump flag who parks near the supermarket on 96 Street and sells Trump merchandise.

Southern Brooklyn is a lost cause. Any area where Nicole Malliotakis has reign is especially gone.

R271, stupid wops.

R271 Interesting. It’s important to point out there are 3 million people in Brooklyn though. It’s bigger than most US cities.

May I remind you bitches that not all Italian Americans live Brooklyn? More than 1.3 million of us live on the west coast and I can assure you I did not vote for Trump. - Nancy Pelosi

Some of us live in Flyoverstan too. Scary I know!

In my life, I’ve met a handful of Italians from New Jersey and they were all horrible people. One was a manager I worked for in a temp job who was about 400 pounds and kept referring to gay men as faggots. I met several more who were neighbors of friends of friends in NJ who just yelled and screamed at everybody. And one time I was in a restaurant in New Jersey, and there was an Italian family sitting behind me, and they were very low class and were rude and demanding to the server. Another time when I was working retail after high school, we had a customer in the store, and I knew from her name on her credit card and her address that she was a New Jersey Italian. She got upset because something wasn’t on sale and she just went off on us and started screaming like a lunatic.

Obviously, this is not representative of an entire group of people, but what are the odds that all the ones I would run into would be like this? You all really need better representation.

Carmella gives a good haircut, and her brothers look out for me. What’s not to like?

CT and MA both have a huge Italian-American population and they're indistinguishable from other white ethnic groups. Everybody is pretty much the same now, after so many generations.

r276 if you live in the Northeast you wouldn't even think about who's Italian and who's not, Italians are just part of the fabric of the region, like Irish-Americans.

R275, Chicago?

R274 The ones who live in Brooklyn throw the meanest fucks though.

I'm from NJ. Despite the Sopranos, most Italian-Americans are no different than anyone else.

[quote] It’s important to point out there are 3 million people in Brooklyn though. It’s bigger than most US cities.

“Forth laaa-gest sit-tee in da woyld!”

I knew a girl who was Italian American.

And then she died.

R285 Too much grappa?

Where my Afro-Italians at?

[quote]Obviously, this is not representative of an entire group of people, but what are the odds that all the ones I would run into would be like this? You all really need better representation.

And there is the problem, you believe your own limited experience as representative of all. I could say the same thing you just said about Italians and replace that work with Jews, Persians, Hispanic or MAGAts, etc. Every group has their low class trash. You have never seen white bro dudes being loud? White trash families at the Monster Truck really? Middle aged white Karen's making a scene?

[quote]It’s important to point out there are 3 million people in Brooklyn though. It’s bigger than most US cities.

But they are not all Italian, only about 60% are even considered white, there is a huge black, Hispanic and Asian population in there too. Even then, across the whole US, there are about 14 million Italians. So a place like Brooklyn is not representative of the majority of Italians in the US. The quirks and eccentricities of a small borough do not automatically mean all Italians in the rest of the country act or behave the same way.

I'm Italian-Irish, middle name Erin. Only on March 17 do I think of myself as Irish; the rest of the year it's "Mangia!"

See any Irish restaurants, not "pubs"? Everybody likes something on an Italian menu.

The Amalfi Coast. Venice. Lakes Como, Garda, Maggiore. Florence. Rome. Ravenna. Sirmione. Portofino. Capri. Etc.

My two sets of forebears moved from the Molly Maguire coal mines of Jim Thorpe and the Coal Regions, the Irish to Bethlehem Steel, the Italians to the Bayonne, NJ, shipyards.

I spent almost every weekend and all holidays in Bayonne. NYC was a frequent destination by bus, easy-peasy, sometimes just for pizza and mussels marinara, then home. Bagels every Sunday in my Grandparents' 3rd-floor walk-up.

I grew up in an idyllic small town, but my visits to my now-Jersey grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins born there were always a treat!

R289 Well obviously they’re not all Italian. Smdh. Thats still a lot of people and a lot of one single ethnic group. Only LA, and Chicago have higher populations than Brooklyn. Even Manhattan doesn’t have a higher residency, just a higher daytime population.

How would an interested horny guy hook up with one of these sexy Italian men?

I’m so tired of hearing about how “hot” Italian men are like they are the be all end all of men. Some are hot, most are average looking. Nordic men are way hotter, with lighter skin, blond hair and blue eyes. The way god intended.

[quote] Nordic men are way hotter, with lighter skin, blond hair and blue eyes. The way god intended.

Any Nordic men with yellow skin?

We don’t get mad. We just get even. Doesn’t matter if it takes us 40 years. Or 3 straight weeks of Sunday family lasagna dinners! 🇮🇹

R293 Megyn Kelly that you?

My father was originally from NJ and he called Italians “Jersey Niggers.”

He sounds nice.

It was actually the Irish who were called "white n-----s" and "the n-----s" of Europe." That label stuck for a very long time.

You’re so dainty R299. We are all anonymous here. Just say nigger like an adult.

The only thing Italian-Americans are generous with is their food. Cheap guinea bastards.

Italians cheap? They love spending $$$$

I'm the offer you can't refuse.

R302 Right. If frivolous materialism was an ethnic group. Nah maybe African-Americans. Hell they tied.

You keep that up I'ma gonna shove that cannoli down your throat and blow da cream outa your ass with an air hose.

R301, That's more than your tight-fisted, one-can-of-Campbell's-Soup-sharing, water-drinking Protestants are.

[Quote] You better watch out.

You better not cry.

Better not pout.

I'm telling you why.

R293, "Nordic men are way hotter"? IDTS!

I'm Guido who owned the Italian Deli on the street I grew up on. He used to give me an Italian ice when he was done molesting me.

Omg. That Lorna Luft gag is about to run into the ground. Shut the fuck up.

r310 At least it's not as cringe-inducing as Dee Plorable's output.

Eye-talians? We got one in our town. He puts statues on his lawn and sweeps the driveway. It’s odd.

Over 300 posts in, and no gratuitous photos of naked Italian men? No closeup shots of huge, veiny, uncut schlongs dripping precum? DL, you are slipping!

Here you go r313

Kinda short, overly tan, requires 2 hands….

The theme song for this thread.

Has this thread been closed?

No.

Are there a lot of Italian dudes on Grinder in Jersey?

Listen here finoique. I don't ever wanna hear my name come outta yer mouths...

R320 = Will Smitho.

my favorite thing about being italian american: the vegetable insults. Us gays are called the fennel plant as an insult. Black people, eggplants and just dumb people are referred to as having "heads made of squash"

R319, don't they call subs 'grinders' in Jersey?

In CT they're called grinders.

Hey, Meatball at R322. Most Sicilians I know wouldn't risk calling a black person an eggplant because they'd never want to eat one again.

Nu sicilianu bonu è granni, ma nu sicilianu tintu è tirrìbbili.

Most Sicilians are hardly Italian, every culture from the Vikings to Arabs, French, Spanish even the British have ridden that town bike and produced offspring that are more like an Ambrosia salad than an Italian sausage.

R326 Why this is bad news for the Italian-American restaurant organization.

r326 Sicilians and Southern Italians aren't as mixed as you would think. No sub-Saharan African and Northern African is only found in 2%-3% of Sicilians:

[quote]A 2013 study by Alessio Boattini et al. found 0 of African L haplogroup in the whole Italy out of 865 samples. The percentages for Berber M1 and U6 haplogroups were 0.46% and 0.35%, respectively.[97]

[quote]A 2014 study by Stefania Sarno et al. found 0 of African L and M1 haplogroups in mainland Southern Italy out of 115 samples. Only two Berber U6 out of 115 samples were found, one from Lecce and one from Cosenza.[92]

[quote]The haplogroups M1 and U6 can be considered to be of North African origin and could therefore be used to signal the documented African historical input. Haplogroup M1 was observed in only two carriers from Trapani (West Sicily), while U6 was observed only in Lucera, South Apulia, and another at the tip of the Peninsula (Calabria).[33]

[quote]African Haplogroup L lineages are relatively infrequent (less than 1%) throughout Italy with the exception of Latium, Volterra, Basilicata and Sicily where frequencies between 2 and 3% have been found.[96]

I went to see the Xmas lights in Dyker Heights in December and there were a few Trump flags/placards They went heavy for Trump, stop kidding yourself. All of the Italian neighborhoods in Brooklyn did, cut the shit. They can be millionaires but they (the ones in Brooklyn/Queens/Staten Island) are xenophobic and Republican. The only ones who aren't are the highly educated ones. Maybe.

[quote]They can be millionaires but they (the ones in Brooklyn/Queens/Staten Island) are xenophobic and Republican. The only ones who aren't are the highly educated ones. Maybe.

So basically the same as all of the rest of America in Flyoversan. You know, those white MAGA folks with the exception of a few who are highly educated.

I'm students in Camille Paglia's classes, terrified she's going to hit them.

R326 next will tell us why Aleuts and Hawaiians are not really Italians while Venetians, who sometimes consider them anything but Italian, are.

Because that's how smart she is.

Actually R332, There are only 135,000 pure blooded Hawaiians that still live in the islands out of 1.4 million residents. So yes, most people who live in Hawaii are not really pacific islanders just like the faux Italians who live in Sicily.

r333 Sicilians and Italians are very similar. If you've looked at the genetic testing, there's barely any admixture with North Africans with Sicilians.

Sicilians are about as Italian as a Hawaiian Pizza.

Sorry r335 you're wrong, genetically speaking. Science and DNA don't lie.

R51, Here is Justin Guarini, owner of the world's worst rhinoplasty:

R60, My Sicilian mother was a 42DD, with no butt to speak of. Italian women aren't known for their rear-ends.

Where are Italian men getting their big asses?

R337 He didn’t need a nose job.

Justin Guarini is half mulignan.

[quote]Where are Italian men getting their big asses?

From other men Rose.

It’s Irish broads who’ve got the fat asses.

What a boring thread.

What a boring poster = R344

If you have nothing to say, then why are you here?

I’m first on line for PaisanCon!

Are the Italians or Italian-Americans known for having big asses?

Italian men are known for good bodies, nice asses and a bronze skin when they tan making them excellent model materiel. Italian woman when they are young can be pretty but not often, but mostly have naturally large breasts without the need for implants. Italian men age well unless the get fat like low class Jersey Soprano types.

R297- What was the ethnicity of your father?

R345- Only boring people are bored.

I’m cooking in the kitchen with pappa

Italian men do not tuck their dick and balls nice and neatly between their legs like most western women are used to western men doing.

Italian men are all about recognizing our hairy dick and balls and letting it all hang out.

I don't think most young modern women are prepared for Italian men.

Italian-American men = big-balled.

Are they also big assed?

R355 I’m only a quarter but mine average. The other half of that equation fits right in with expectations.

Italian-American men = horny

Sexy fucks

The bigger the balls, the hornier the man R358.

How horny? Asking for a slut

R361, Italians invented and perfected the concept of machismo.

Machismo? That's a store in WeHo right?

Greeks invented sex, and Italians introduced it to women.

I think Italian American men love the sun.

Italians also perfected sodomy, witness Florence, Italy in 1500's.

R362, wasn't that the Latino's of Central/South America? Or are they co-creators of machismo with the Spanish?

What does Latino possess?

R367, machismo covers a wide swath across Latin America, the Mediterranean Euro countries, the Arab world and northern Africa.

Masheezmo

BTW, I'm not saying machismo is a good thing, but it certainly is a reality..

Macho macho man

I like all the Italians who aren’t macho

Italian-Americans remind me of black people. Even when they are educated, they just have a certain level of realness. Unless they are just full of shit, fake type people.

i'm partial to sissyboy italiani

R373, that's what a lot of Italian women claim, too. But then a lot of them want a man who takes charge and is a provider, so..

I'm glad I'm gay and not part of that whole exhausting mating song-and-dance.

[quote]I'm glad I'm gay and not part of that whole exhausting mating song-and-dance.

Same here. After seeing all of the psychological bullshit the straight men I've known have gone through with their wives/girlfriends over many years, I'm glad I'm gay and have never been attracted to women.

Ditto, glad I am gay, half Italian and when I see what my male cousins have to put up with in terms or expectations, no thanks. Plus my husband has a thing for Italians and when I cook as long as there is something with a tomato in it, he's happy as a clam. Oddly, I am not into pasta all that much.

R361, we're always up for a good lay!!! Even a little slap and tickle if you may.

R377, I don't mean to shit on Italian women or women in general -- as they have their own share of things to put up with -- but can you say mixed signals much? The things they claim they want in a man and what they actually want seem very incongruent to me.

Men are much more direct, to the point, and simple to read and I'm grateful for that.

I know straight white American woman who want or have the same mixed message about men in general. They want total equality, equal pay, independence, but still want to be treated like princess where the man ALWAYS pays, ask them out, buys the expensive jewellery, always puts them first, brings in more money than them. But don't dare tell them what to do or expect them to pay a traditional female role while they are still pushing a traditional male role straight men. In other words, just the good stuff that benefits them but not the other stuff that comes with it.

R381, to those bitches who want men to fulfill traditional roles without fulfilling them themselves, I'd say: go back into that kitchen and go make the pasta.

To be gay and proud is to be Italian

I'm their delicious meatballs.

and their sausages

[quote]to those bitches who want men to fulfill traditional roles without fulfilling them themselves, I'd say: go back into that kitchen and go make the pasta.

To those type of woman, you are lucky if you can get them to make a sandwich. Maybe Mac N Cheese out of the box.

This older woman I work for every once and a while helping her out is like that. Her husband gave her about 2 million in jewelry and another 3 mill when they got separated just so she would have a nice condo instead of living on the streets. She never had a real job in the 40 years of marriage. She's the one who cheated on my TWICE and broke up the marriage. Now all she does is bitch about how selfish he was.

R386, most Italian women know what's up. They are no wilting flowers themselves. They can give as good as they get.

I just enjoy getting to sit in the tanning bed the full 15 minutes the first session.

As an Italian i sit for 15 minutes every time

Italians tan well, considered the prefect skin color of white folk who want a little color without breaking out into a thousand freckles or red like a lobster.

[quote] Italians tan well, considered the prefect skin color of white folk

I'm the tomato, brought from the New World to save their culture.

What does DL think of this Italian American coach?
