    There was widespread racism directed at Italian Americans that ran for decades. My grandmother’s mortgage from 1955 had language referring to Italian America quotas that needed to be referenced so they were not exceeded. That meant the town had to sign off on Italian Americans buying the home.

    German is the most common ancestry in America which is likely why we did nothing about German Americans.

      My dude, there were anti German riots in the Midwest during the 19th century.

      The xenophobia has always been focused on the latest group to migrate.

        Yes but by the 20th century that had changed which is why German camps weren’t a thing.

        In the Italians case they weren’t the last but they were the last group of “white” people. White on white racism gets weird.
