I have Italian friends whose parents couldn't find houses in WASP neighborhoods, this is a weird hill to die on. Most people can tell the difference between a group of Sicilians and a group of Irish. It's not hard.
Yeah, but no one cares any more to my knowledge. So you have a first order experience of them going from non-white to white. Without any phenotypic changes. You are seeing the fake system in fake action. If it was about any genetic factor that wouldn't have happened.

if racism against Black/Brown people exists, it also exists (to a lesser extent) against people who pass as Black/Brown
If you're applying to buy a house, they can see your name is Salvatori Giupetti
