    They took their culture with them when they came to the US and they are proud of that great nation. They clung to it. But Itally kept changing and they didnt. I dont think of this type of thing as insulting because culture can cross borders but if they try to hassle an actual Italian or compete that is dumb. But just living their lives, as hard as it may seem to believe, I think they are being authentic to themselves and family.

But when you ask them which part of Italy their family comes from or try to speak Italian with them, there's nothing but silence XD to me, those are not Italians but Americans of Italian descent. I also grew up outside of Italy since my dad and his family came from Italy to Germany for work. But I speak the language, have the Italian passport, visit my relatives in Italy very regularly, know the culture and places... This is what I'd consider the minimum if you want to call yourself Italian.

    its not about the colour of their skin. its a made up (socially constructed) category/identity, as is with black and brown people incidentally, there are no essential phenomenological features that make you any 'race' at all. A couple decades ago jewish, irish and southern europeans were not considered white merely because you wanted to discriminate against them.

American children of Mexican heritage are generally seen negatively by native Mexicans because they tend to be very ignorant about what they claim is “their culture”, but that’s not the issue. The issue is that when Native Mexicans correct them or try to educate them instead of learning and updating their misconceptions they simply double down and speak over Natives. We know them as pochos but they prefer the term chicanos because “pochos” usually has a negative connotation.

    I worked at an Italian deli after school when I was a teenager. They pronounced everything like it was spelled, except soppressata, which they left the last vowel off. I always pronounced it that way until I did it once in public and the person I was with suddenly started pronouncing every meat and cheese like Tony Soprano, after I had already heard them pronounce those words as they're spelled. I never left the end vowel of an Italian meat or cheese name since.

    That's interesting because in Italian we always pronounce a word in full. Italian phonetic is rather easy to learn. After one learns those few sounds not available in other languages, like "gl" and "gn", and corresponding phonetics such "ch" for k, all words are pronounced as they are written. However, the elision of words is very common in local languages and dialects, mostly in the South. Romans hardly pronounce a word in full, same in Naples, etc. This is also evident with many words used by Italian-Americans, which are mispronunciations of elided Italian words with an anglicized sound. So, the Italian word capocollo Is morphed into gabagool.

    Americans thinking they are from someplace a distant ancestor came from is certainly strange to a European. But conversely, many Europeans think second and even third-generation immigrants are from the country of their ancestors, though they often have never been there and don't have a command of the language; sometimes even denying them citizenship.
