# it never ceases to amaze me
that someone so utterly corrupt, sleazy and racist was elected to a position of power in Italy.

*insert innuendo about Italians here*

# indeed
I was going to point out what an institutionally corrupt, racist country Italy is, until I realised the irony of accusing an entire race of people of being racists..

*delivers stern rebuke to self*

# It's not racist to call Italy
an institutionally corrupt and racist country. Calling Italians racist would be racist; calling Italy a corrupt and racist country is simple observation, even if individual Italians you meet tend to be neither corrupt nor racist.

Maybe it's nationist.

# ooh
that's just semantics though, surely, as a country in itself cannot be racist

my gf lived in Italy for along time, and the only nice thing she says about it is 'they make nice bread'

# it is a beautiful country

yes, it's a massive generalisation i'm making. the italians i've met for the most part have been decent, intelligent people whose only fault is adding a vowel onto the end of every word. but the country keeps electing corrupt governments who sell them up the pisser, the south in particular is governed by a mixture of fear and corruption and force of habit, laws are changed on the whim of an overpowerful egomanaic to try and keep himself and his chronies out of prison (although sometimes that seems to be slowly changing, which is reassuring), and the italians i've met are typically extremely frustrated by the whole thing.

# Italy is a country, not a race.
It's xenophobic, perhaps, but not racist.

Racist is generalising against women.
