It's not systemic would be the reason it's not racism lmao.

It's at worst a form of bullying, as that's literally all it can be. It's not going to cause a genocide, it's not going to get a bunch of people locked up, and it's not getting people put in the streets as the societal structure for anti-italian discrimination at that level is not in place.

You're using the definition that whities use when they get mad for getting called out as racists and claim honky as a slur.
