Why doesn't anyone ask about Asian women, that part of their anatomy goes horizontal?

How can you be racist against Italians? A good part of France borders Italy, doesn't it? You should have used the term xenophobic.

My head hurts, too, as I'm trying to understand the rationale behind country borders preventing racism.

Don't ask me, I used my only brain cell to find that pic, It's all I could do.

From my experience, yes Italians are quite discriminatory even toward their own (there is a strong North and South division in its society).

"But you don't have pasta at the restaurant ? What do you eat, then ?"

and so on

I would call it food nationalism. It's one of the few things for which we are proud of our own country, just let us have this one even though we cna insufferable arseholes at times

Then, we are rightfully proud of our cuisine, especially when almost all over the world other people try to steal it or pass for 'Italian' everything (the net worth of fake 'Italian product' is the double of true Italian ones).
Therefore, we don't want to see our cuisine ruined by inept foreigners.
Secondly, it's not being 'racist', it's just that we are the best and we know it.
Third, it's true that French can't make an espresso for Jesus sake.
Fourth, the point about pasta and the restaurant is quite strange: generally it's foreigners who think that Italian cuisine is pasta,pizza and lasagne (and they duly can't even cook that), Italians do know that our cuisine is much varied than pasta.

I think on the contrary it might even enhance it.
