I used to have a "I'm not only perfect, I'm Italian!" shirt that I bout in Little Italy years and years ago. I am not Italian.

I think it's mosty just very anti-Long Island.
Oh, man, my family was stationed in Germany from 1976-79, so we moved there when I was nearly 7 and my sister was 9. We lived off-post in a high-rise apartment leased by the Army from the local government.
Anyway, we interacted a lot with the local German kids in the neighborhood, and one day my sister got in a shouting match with some boy, and, having vaguely heard the word and knowing it had something to do with Germany, called him a Nazi. I have never seen a fistfight between two kids start so quickly. My dad had to come downstairs and separate them!

I think that in larger cities where haven't moved around and still have ethnic family roots, there's still a racism or at least bias of sorts among groups. I think it's partially a leftover strong pride that was useful in the face of real discrimination in the past, but now has turned more into a persecution complex that causes the behavior to come on to strong and, paradoxically, cause people to be looked on in a negative way because they're overreacting to a perceived bias.

x-post - Yeah. The only time I know of that my dad actually punched someone out was when a guy called him a Nazi directly to his face. He knocked that fucker down fast.

I pretty much grew up thinking everyone was literally either Irish, Italian or Jewish.
I'm of German heritage obv, and I would seriously need a fuckin reality check if i got IRL upset at someone calling me a Nazi

Whiney. You're not actually from Germany. I think that makes a big difference.

so can I just ask if there was any intentional irony in the "pork chop" digression upthread, because that's a slur against Portuguese people

This thread is moving rather fast, but re: not knowing the connotations of stuff like "uppity", I remember being told off for using "inscrutable" about someone who was Japanese - my mind was blown that this was a *thing* but I never used it again.
