Another history lesson. White surpremists like the KKK hate Catholics, so no Italians are not ok, not to mention swarthy Italians. Only recently have their views changed because they feel as if their population is shrinking, so now suddenly Italians are ok. Any Italian that believes that needs their head checked. Our backgrounds didn't change and neither did our religion. I'm one of those swarthy Sicilians who is Catholic.
White supremacists no longer hate Catholics or Atheists. They do hate Muslims and Jews, though.
White supremacists are very consistent about accepting Italians as white. The rule is basically that everyone of wholly European, non-Jewish ancestry is white. Although some white supremacists like Jared Taylor accept European Jews as white too.
If they didn't claim Italians as white, how else would they claim Ancient Rome and all the culture that came out of Italy over the years?
Sounds like you wrote the book on white supremacy. So you're saying that we don't have to even convert to Southern Baptist to join the klan? Your such a clown. As if a bunch of hicks living in rural poverty really give a damn about Ancient Rome, which encompassed much more than just modern day Italy. One Black president, one Catholic president, no Italian president. We've come closer to having a Hispanic president than an Italian president.

No, i know some Puerto Rican with straight and wavy, not curly hair. One guy has even light brown hair and green eyes, lighter than a typical Italian. Some have brown eyes and brown hair, pale skin, they look Italian or Jewish.

My kids school is mostly Italian and Puerto Rican. Like I said, this ain't Long Island. I know whether they are one vs the other by their last names. Puerto Ricans live in between Blacks and Italians. They act as kind of a buffer zone.

The only outright Puerto Ricans you really have are those descended from Europeans to move to Puerto Rico post WW2. All other Puerto Ricans are in varying degrees mixed race, and if you look at their extended families, it will be obvious they have substantial African and/or Native ancestry.
A person can look very white and have a black cousin, or a vice versa.
Also in NYC you'll find Puerto Ricans who have had children with Italians, so some of the people you're speaking about maybe half Italian. Italian/Puerto Rican and now Italian/Dominican mixes are common. Lots of Italians have children with non whites.
Of course many Spanish people (the whiter ones) would look like Jews because many Jews in Spain and Italy were forced to convert to Catholicism by the Spanish Inquisition.
Anyone with a brain knows Puerto Ricans ain’t 100% white.
This is certainly true and it goes for all of us Spanish speaking Caribbean people.
Anyone who is disagrees is being dishonest, or perhaps should take a second look at some particular individuals.
Or if anyone has substantially interacted with Puerto Ricans and seen Puerto Rican extended families, one would see all types of colors and looks within the EXTENDED family.
