I've always wondered if there has been significant race mixing with ItalianAmericans. Thanks majority of them look Italian with the huge noses and quasi Arab phenotype. You'd think tht well over 120 years of residency would have led to their mixing with others, but it appears that, like Jews, they are quite insular

The Immigration Act of 1924, or Johnson–Reed Act, including the National Origins Act, and Asian Exclusion Act (Pub.L. 68–139, 43 Stat. 153, enacted May 26, 1924), was a United States federal law that set quotas on the number of immigrants from certain countries while providing funding and an enforcement mechanism to carry out the longstanding (but hitherto unenforced) ban on other non-white immigrants. The law was primarily aimed at further decreasing immigration of Southern Europeans, countries with Roman Catholic majorities, Eastern Europeans, Arabs, and Jews.[1][2][3][4] The law affirmed the longstanding ban on the immigration of other non-white persons, with the exception of black African immigrants (who had long been exempt from the ban). Thus, virtually all Asians were forbidden from immigrating to America under the Act (subsequent court rulings would determine that Indians were not white and could not immigrate).
Even latinos with indian blood were considered white and italians don´t

Yes, although they do their own little "I'm from the good part" thing sometimes. I girl I once dated claimed her grandma was from Calabria and not from scummy Sicily, lol

Contrary to popular belief, Latin Americans were not prohibited or limited from immigrating under the law. In most states and under federal law, persons of mixed white and Native American ancestry were considered white; this principle was interpreted under the Act to allow Latin Americans to immigrate as "white persons." Moreover, unlike Eastern and Southern Europe, no nationality-based quotas were placed on Latin American immigrants. Thus, the law allowed unlimited Latin American immigration, just as it allowed unlimited northwestern European immigration. Ironically, the 1965 immigration law that replaced the 1924 Act, though abolishing racial preferences and national quotas, would effectively place greater restriction on Latin American immigration.
Latinos with indian blood were white, but southern europeans don´t

they gradually became "american" just like the Irish and other European groups. America at one point of US history just meant Anglo-Saxon Protestants.

Italians are only seen as white in Italy.
Kayden Torres
what does them banning the entry of southern europeans in 1924 have to do with italian AMERICANS (meaning not immigrated) being considered white in 2018, nearly 100 years from then?

dude, are you purposely being dense?
When they came here Italians were NOT seen as white which is what the brazilanon is pointing out. They're seen as white today after decades of mixing with anglos, germanics and because they lost their accents
Caleb Jenkins
Fuck off.
Brandon Morgan
exactly. Brazil is acting like we still see italian americans as not white today.
Aaron Garcia
