I genuinely have no idea where the joke came from but it seems pretty big since I've heard it IRL a few times now. Where did this come from?

Italian-Americans are in absolutely no sense systematically oppressed and were aggressively incorporated into whiteness post WW1 and WW2. It's funny as shit. The modern function of whiteness is to shear you from any sense of historical identity so seeing these fully americanized chuds try to claim an ethnicity they no longer have any meaningful relation to is darkly comic in a way.
Also p sure eventually communism will reproduce a monoculture that will render all attachments to historical identity similar to the plight of the current Italian American so it's a good preview for the theater of the absurd that living in a communist society will entail because God knows not everyone is gonna accept the cultural production of a new organizing economic model that easily.
