Prejudices about the Italians When I go abroad I get really angry listening about so many prejudices (some of them are nonsense) about the Italians. Someone could tell me that in prejudice there is a bottom of thuth (at least that is what we say in Italy), but sometimes against the Italian there is a real malice. Yes, It's true we are noisy when we are sitting for meals, yes, we are unorganized and many people don't respect the rules...but I wonder...who wasn't, at least one time, noisy during one lunch or dinner? Could anyone tell that in his country everybody respects the rules? I don't think so. I fed up with this situation and I've wanted to bring my testimony.

Prejudices about the Italians

When I go abroad I get really angry hearing about so many prejudices (some of them are nonsense) against the Italians. Someone could tell me that with prejudice there is an underlying truth (at least that is what we say in Italy), but sometimes against the Italian there is a real malice.

Lo stesso stereotipo esiste negli Stati Uniti verso gli italo-americani. si dice che gli italiani (americani) gridano sempre mentre mangiano o fanno qualche cosa. purtroppo questo non è uno degli stereotipi maliziosi contro di noi....

It really bothers me a lot, too,hearing the silliest stereotypes ever about Egyptians and Arabs generally. You should be pity them though because they're so ignorant of your culture, which shows that they don't read or bother themselves to discover the world around them.

Ciao! So parlare un po' di italiano. I am learning a little italian words for interesting, haha. I don't know much about italians, but I have a italian schoolmate. He is handsome! He gives me a feel of a football star. In my view, italian life is leisurer than China. Sometimes I will feel other countries' people don't like chinese, too. But, be happy.
