    I grew up Cajun Catholic. My mom was terrfying in her physical discipline. There was no "wait till your dad gets home." So I love your jokes, I totally understood everything.

      Cajun here. Well - Cajun mom. My mom was left handed so she would backhand me all the way home from school while she drove with the other hand.
      And she was a teacher - so not only was she mad over whatever awful thing I did, I got the backhanding she couldn’t give every other eighth grader she saw every day.

    This is too perfect. I'm very Italian American and my mom's from Staten Island. The stories she told me about how my grandmother beat her and her brothers is forever fucked up and hilarious.

    A lot of this applies to Hispanics just the same. Both Mediterranean culture derived people. From an appearance perspective this guy can pass as Middle Eastern.

    I grew up in a Turkish family from the mediterranean sea area, but was born and raised in the Netherlands.
    I too found african american comedians the funniest.. Lawrence, Chappelle, Pryor, Bernie Mac, Chris Rock.. always laughed about the white people jokes, because american white people seemed to be similair to dutch white people.
    One time I was watching a bit of Murphy, or something else on a tv-show, I don't quite remember.. but the thing was that Italian-Americans were classified als white and that a black-american comedian or actor made fun of them the same way the comedians mentioned above did with actual white people. I never understood how Italian-Americans were generally seen as white people.
    As I said, I'm from a Turkish family and I learned about Italians through movies and series. Their physical appearances and mannerisms, family structure, etc. etc. always reminded me of my own culture. And I did find Italians, or specifically Sicilians, to look similair to Turks. In general Turks have black hair, brown eyes.. some are white-ish looking.
    Anyway, there's one time my mom and I were visiting family in Germany, so we were there to stay for at least a night. I misbehaved, but my mom couldn't do what she usually does, because we weren't going home soon. So she went to the bathroom, and told me to come with her. In the hallway she dragged me into a random bedroom, happend to be my cousin's, the pushed me on the bed, hold me down with one knee as she was searching for a sock to stuff in my mouth. After that she pinched en punched me for misbehaving. Told me to shut the fuck up and don't let anybody know what just happened.

    My mother’s go-to threat was always “if you don’t knock it off I’m gonna hang you by your toenails.”
    My grandmother just had a fat diamond ring she’d slap your mouth with.
    But for the big man it was just “I’m gonna call your father” which was enough of a lightning rod to fix scoliosis.

    Americans with distant Italian ancestors are not Italian themselves. Your culture is clearly foreign from us Italians and clearly American, down with obsession with racial classifications.
    Also I'm sorry if you grew up in a violent family but that doesn't mean an entire nationality of people (that said family has some far ancestors from) has to be brought to account.

      I'm hispanic, much much much lighter than him, like, I look anemic lol (I'm not though). I've tried to naturally tan before, I just burn and I end up looking like a tomato. I don't see myself as white, nor does the US and I'm fine with that. Why? Because I know I'm mixed with other ethnicities. But here, this guy would be categorized as white because he's of European origin.

    •  5 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @ Yeah it's more like based on culture, features, and region rather than skin colour, which is a bit crazy and stupid actually... but he doesn't look like the average italian just like I assume you don't look like the average hispanic. Italians are generally white, plus, he's not even Italian, he's italian-american.
      Also, I'm franco-Italian with gaul germanic origins (white/pale) and I too burn easily and look like a tomato in the sun !
