Why Italians aren’t discriminated against in America anymore?

1.33K viewsOther

Italian Americans used to face a lot of discrimination but now Italian hate in America is virtually non existent. How did this happen? Is it possible for this change to happen for other marginalized groups?

Edit: You don’t need to state the obvious that they’re white and other minorities aren’t, we all have eyes. Also my definition of discrimination was referring to hate crime level discrimination, I know casual bigotry towards Italians still exists but that wasn’t what I was referring to.

Anyways thank you for all the insightful answers, I’m extremely happy my post sparked a lot of discussion and interesting perspectives

too many other brown people to worry about other whites. once schools began to integrate, the color of ones skin mattered more than their cultural differences
