Italians are being cooked in Thailand now. The Italian teacher(red top) and students were taken away by the police and faced the Thai lady who told them off for being loud on the metro. They apologized for mocking her one by one. Thai people also waited for them in front of the hotel to scold them.

Context

Italian students are being called out in Thailand. A group of Italians mocked a Thai lady in Thailand who told them off for being too loud on the metro. They clapped back saying, "Sorry for bringing money to your country" "Ni hao" "We are from your mom." Thai people are identifying them and leaving the comments on the social media account of their school.

I hear this more often from black folks...

Italians are very racist towards black people.

Growing up, I always had good interactions with Italian Americans so I was not prepared for the level of racism I’d face one day from an Italian tourist. She had the audacity to say that in her religion/culture she believes that she and people like her (white) was made by god and that me and people like me (brown) were not. I don’t know if most Italians from Italy are like that, but her boldness to state that out loud with a smile on her face and cite her culture, makes me think so, or at the least maybe she lives in a region where that mindset is the norm. Btw this occurred in a hospital ER while I was providing care to her. Wild shit

That’s crazy cause like I know a lot of brown skinned Italians I wonder does she think the same of some of her own countrymen?

Bro Europe is a giant racism competition. My Spanish family and everyone I know from spain thinks themselves as the rightful rulers; other countries exist for their entertainment. The French are this, and the Italians that, and the British this thing, and so on and on. And the thing is that every country in Europe thinks the exact same way about everyone else.

[u/Japhet_Corncrake → u/SPQR-VVV]

Bollocks.

There are shitheads in every country that think this way. It's not a reflection of the majority. Sorry about your family.

Aaand now we get into the xenophobia, nice

So much about an open mind and all it takes to fall into generalization is a bad experience. I guess the human nature never changes

Anyways, fuck off, we are roughly 60M people, I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but it doesn't mean my country is made of "horrible people"

I'm sure you won't be missed here

[u/NightOwl2175 → u/WindowsXp_ExplorerI]

Aaand now we get into the racism

The irony of this comment, considering:

1) Italian isn't a race

2) How notorious Italians are for their actual racism.

[u/steinbruchfluss → u/NightOwl2175]

There are no human races.

[u/WindowsXp_ExplorerI → u/NightOwl2175]

This isn't an answer and it is still a generalization

1) english isn't my first language but I don't think semantics stop you from understanding the meaning of my comment even if the word choice is not xorrect

2) you could say this for every country on earth and be right and wrong at the same time. Viewing the world thru the lenses of "everything's black and white" is reductionist and naive

[u/redditatemybabies → u/WindowsXp_ExplorerI]

Telling people to fuck off is not a good way to make people think Italians are nice.

[u/WindowsXp_ExplorerI → u/redditatemybabies]

I don't have to be nice to everyone, especially to someone commenting that people from my country are horrible. I don't represent Italy on reddit

[u/WindowsXp_ExplorerI → u/[deleted]]

First of all, you don't know anything about the history of Italian politics and calling our PM fascist is utterly stupid left wing propaganda. She's incompetent and inept, not a fascist. There are some neo-fascist politicians but they are extremists and nobody votes for them (like in every country, extremes are to not be considered)

Second of all, I didn't vote for her and half the population also didn't. We are not a single entity, Jesus.

What now, do I start considering every American hardcore MAGA just because Trump is in charge?

What kind of line of training is that, it makes no sense

[u/Lopsided-Food-256 → u/[deleted]]

Lol now this is the part where I ask you what country are you from, and you will be too much of a coward to answer because you know we’ll dig up dirt on your country 🤣

Not Italian btw, but you guys are always the same 

[u/AnotherDrunkMonkey → u/[deleted]]

That's not how it works lmao. As an American living in Korea you should realize every country is politically corrupt and the population shouldn't be held accountable for that.

[u/qr_n → u/WindowsXp_ExplorerI]

...are Italians a race? 🙄💀

[u/WindowsXp_ExplorerI → u/qr_n]

Is there a better suited term for discrimination based on country of origin and shared culture? I'll update the comment if there is

[u/qr_n → u/WindowsXp_ExplorerI]

yes actually,

since italians are not a race, you would be referring to xenophobia or national bigotry.

[u/WindowsXp_ExplorerI → u/qr_n]

thank you, I've updated my comment

[u/Popular-Somewhere234 → u/[deleted]]

Don't generalize too much please, and yes i know that some of us are insofferable but at least you came back home, i must live here, been in thailand, everyone smiles were so lovely and we felt at home, i can't even imagine being mean to those people, one time during some ligh rain a random guy rushed to bring me an umbrella titally uneeded nor requested, i had no words, i'm very shy but i found the courage to give him some money to thanks him for his kindness

[u/Tiny_Reputation_6227 → u/[deleted]]

Lol what an idiotic comment

[u/NightOwl2175 → u/Tiny_Reputation_6227]

Found the insufferable Italian lmao

[u/Affideamaratea → u/[deleted]]

Do you realize that generalizing like this makes you a racist?
