black nativity angers italy's "white xmas" party

[Susita 175]

Italians are HAWT. whichever colors they come in, Nuff said

My grandmother is Italian and is super white with blonde hair and blue eyes. On the other hand, my great-grandfather was Italian and was dark-skinned with black hair and brown eyes.

So.... it totally depends. But they are all some good lookin' people I have to say.

Well, no one is really white. Maybe Edward Cullen, but he's also sparkly.

[Susita 175]

so do spanish, greeks and portugese. i'm not talking census count. i'm talking actual skin pigment. no they are not.

It varies in every country ... Your country of origin doesn't determine your skin color. The entire country of Italy isn't all dark-skinned where do you come up with this?

He's transparent. Sorry Len, he is.

i'm not sure which is funnier. the people in this town being pissed that baby jesus isn't 'whiter' or people in this thread being pissed about an anti illegal immigration campaign in this same area having a CODE name 'white christmas'.....the campaign ends on Christmas day & Italians aren't exactly 'white'.

According to any census taken on this planet they are....

i didn't say they did. you asked where i got that greeks etc. were counted as 'white' in a census count.

[Susita 175]

No I meant where did you get that italians weren't exactly 'white.' Not that I'm a fan of classifying people by their skin color (I hate it actually) but some Italians are in fact, white and some aren't. Same with Greeks, and people from all over Europe and all over the world.

There is so much cultural movement & mixing in the world that nothing is 100%.

I always say that if Jesus walked the earth today, people would think he was a potential terrorist - well at least here in the USA they would.

Latino isn't a proper definition of anything. Amazing it's allowed to be honest. Time to cut the bull over this issue.

[Jenn! 918]

Sicilians aren't Italian. At least that's what my great-grandma used to tell me.
