- And PS as a side rant specifically to Italiane (while we're on this immigration thing with this new mayor), stop letting in the south americans, even ones claiming Italian roots. They're culture is still 3rd world and they bring that with them and even if they have one Italian long distant relative, most likely they're mixed of whatever sorts and some poor Italian sucker would be fooled, mate with them and be shocked to see their child has afro-curls, strange indian cheek bones, afro butt or who only knows.   Brasil and Argentina, stop with the numbers lies 60 million pure white!  Brasil, a huge portion of your country is indigenous indian and african, and of ocurse much mixed and just a handful of pure white europeans. The tons insecure of their mixing and the world wide image they have as african and a mixed nation, go overboard to say they are white when really there was mixing most likely 2-3 generations back.  Argentina, although much more white than Brasil and wonderfully you barely ever see a black (part of the rivalry of Brasil-Argentina, Brasil jealous of Argentina's whiter makeup), still exaggerates their numbers heavily. Most of the whites there are centralized to the cities, the rest of the country is heavily indigenous indian, and again, extremely rare to see an african. But, there has been heavy mixing 2 - 3 generations back and of course today, of the Spain Spanish and Italians with the local indians and others from arab lands, as well as jews. Largest jewish population outside of Israel is claimed to be in BsAs. Quite interestingly the jews there actually parade around their jewishness by wearing their whole getup. Interesting how they don't do so in the US, EU, etc. They know better.  So the reason for my side rant, Italia, specifically Italia, DO NOT be fooled by these ones coming from Argentina and Brasil, Brasil especially, going on and on about their Italian roots.  I do not deny them having an Italian ancestor (as there clearly was Italian immigration there back when, but mostly male for construction projects, who obviously had to mate with mostly local indigenous indian or african females - in the US, there were many Italian FEMALES, mother's and daughters who also immigrated as well as the TONS of white euros already in the US to keep mixing white - not the case in Brasil or even for the most part Argentina), so if it was me, I would do full screening. I would want to see proof of Italian (or at least white european) roots on ALL sides!  There is a high chance they have indigenous indian or black mix in there somewhere.   By the way, one's from Brasil or Argentina happening to read this, save your breath asking if I've ever been there. I'm old and I'm well seasoned travelling. Spare the boasting of how white it is down there.  You have to watch out for the sneaky ones. The ones that may even pass for Italian, but if you look close enough, investigate further, have good race detecting skills, you'll see the light. I have personally investigated in Italy those tricky south american immigrants and found mud roots despite of their boasting of how white they are! At least with the ones direct from Africa or Pakistan or wherever, you know outright. You have to watch out for the sneaky ones, the liars. It kills me to think of real Italians mixing with them thinking their full Italian only to actually be mixing mud genes.  Aside from that too, I can't stomach the arrogance of the ones from Brasil / Brazil going to the US and Italy prancing around like they're taking over the place. I've witnessed it first hand in the US and Italy.  It's interesting, the nonsense the Mexicans, black, and others do in the US or other muds in other whitelands - well, they just do it - the Brasilians probably partly because of a deep insecurity of knowing they're not full white and having to go overboard to try to prove their whiteness, battle with the real whites thinking they're equal or above!  Watch out for them.  The paki's or chinese, or africans in Italia do not at least think they ARE Italian and competing with them in that sense. But these mixed ones from Brasil especially (I found the Argentinians not as bad, not as insecure and arrogant), ones claiming full whiteness, full Italian off of their one or two Italian ancestors but meanwhile shoving under the rug the indian, african, jew or whatever mixing and proceeding to think they are just as Italian as the Italians themselves. Extremely annoying and dangerous as well!  And to add, Italian-Americans for the most part of still all Italian, or at least mixed with other white Europeans. (spare the handul of photos of ones who are not). Also, because the US was founded by white Europeans, there still to this day are similarities in culture (despite the American culture appearing so messed up). Point - an Italian-American in Italy is more on the same wave, respect, morals, etc with Italians than is a Brasilian with an Italian ancestor still coming from a 3rd world country.  Brasil and Argentina have nice malls, fancy restaurants, some large GDP's, (Argentina even being quite impressive from a BsAs perspective) but they are still 3rd world.  Again, a large majority of their population are indigenous indian and african or just indigenous indian as is Argentina's case. Which does have an effect on the country and culture as a whole.  Mexico has some nice malls, fancy restaurants, resorts and even a guy one of the richest out there, but it is still obviously 3rd world, their culture and mentality is third world. They even have some Spanish whites there, but again, 3rd world culture.   My rant is over. The Dionyses poster mentioned immigrants to Italia from Asia, Africa and South America and so it triggered this whole thing. And the infuriating state when you hear the exaggeration of numbers of whites in Brasil.  And that annoying thing like when the geek is trying so hard to be with the cool kids - like you have that mulatto who could pass for white to the sheeple but to the wise eye you can clearly see the black features - and they go around trying so hard to prove their whiteness. Actually it must be a confusing state of being to be in. They must be really angered with their parents or grandparents or great grandparents for mixing.  This rant is more directed to full blooded white Italians in Italy as a sort of eye opener to extra screen those ones from Brasil.  And the pure whites in Brasil and Argentina, you'll understand what I mean and so I'm not saying you don't exist down there, I know there are a good handful. This post is in regards to the exaggerated numbers and the sneaky mixed ones who still have 3rd world tendancies and blood in them just waiting to unleash on a poor unknowing pure white.  I don't need to spiel my life history, nor have the time to, but just take it from a guy who knows. What are you talking about? Just a handful of pure Whites in Argentina?? Argentina has a higher percentage of Whites than America does, they're not exaggerating those numbers. I've never seen an Argentinian who didn't look purely White yet. Just a handful of Whites? There's millions of pure Whites in South America. Most of them from what I know are highly racially aware too and usually pretty racist. I know quite a few White Cubans and they're racist as Hell. Pure White Cubans, I've known Cuban-Americans with blonde hair even blue eyes, theres tons of pure White people in Latin America , especially Argentina, Uruguay and southern Brazil. Even in Chile they like to list their population as 95%White but in reality it's like 30%pure White and 65%mostly White with slight Amerinidan ancestry but most are indistinguishable from most pure Europeans especially the Spaniards and Italians so they count them as White. But that's in Chile everyone knows they do that, but in Argentina and Uruguay, southern Brazil, they aren't just jacking their numbers up to look Whiter, what makes you think so?    And their culture isn't third world, almost all of the music, food etc...of Latin America is of European roots particularly Spanish, but lots of Portuguese, Italian, German and other European influence too. The media trys to perpetuate the myth that all of this Latin American music like salsa,mambo,merengue,etc uses black rhythm but that's all BS for the most part, merengue and salsa music, tango, even mariachi music, practically all of the Latin American music is purely European in origins, Blacks just like to think they contributed something. Their culture isn't third world, and Argentina isn't a third world country. It's not a crap hole like Mexico which hardly has any White people. There are tens of millions of purely White Latin Americans, and their culture is for the most part purely European originated just like in the States. I don't like the idea of lots of White Latinos moving to Europe, but if they ever want to come up our way in the USA I say we can use all the White people we can get as long as they learn English.
