I wouldn't want the jokes to wear thin. There are lots of white but not really white groups like Quebecois and the Welsh who could take the heat for a while to give the Italians time to cool off.

    What if you just didn't make fun of how people talk? Its actually pretty rude overall.

    I get the comparison of racism against white groups, but as an ongoing joke it loses contexts and what started as semi-tasteless first year college freeze peach proto wokeism turns slyly into actual just plain old racism.

    Italians are comrades, Welsh are comrades, quebeckers are comrades. Find another joke maybe.

      I kind of agree, but I also find it funny that the way Italians speaking English are usually mocked is completely different from the actual accent most Italians have when speaking English.
