He the bready guzzler of the local olive garten, he the throat GOAT of the unlimited bread sticks, he not perverted he just Italian

(This was posted on moldy Monday so it’s old and unrelevant. A few years ago cum omo was the governor of New York, a state (sub-governing body akin to flächenländer in Germany) within the United States of America. He was repeatedly accused of sexual harassment and his defense was to say “I’m not perverted, I’m just Italian” implying that the sexual harassment was actually just people misunderstanding regular American-Italian peoples’ interaction with others. Clearly that is stupid as all American-Italians do not sexual harass everyone, and he resigned in disgrace.

It is important to note that in the United States of America there is a significant concentration of Italian Americans in New York State (and Jersey…) and they refer to themselves as “Italians” still despite their ancestors being in America for many, many generations. This is due to the racism they experienced in earlier generations fostering a strong connection to their original cultural identity. Irish Americans are very similar.)
