Why do Italian Americans love to bully?

[Anonymous]

Six of the past bullies I have had to face were Italian American. Is there something about Italian American culture that makes them want to bully and hurt others?

What is it about Italian descendents that make them want to become destroyers?

I’m part Italian and part French Canadian and I am no bully. I like to joke around with my friends at work but I laugh a lot to make sure people know I’m playing around.

Tell that to the many who harassed me. Is there something about Italian culture that makes them hurt people?

[Heartache0405]

Not that I know of no. They’re probably just shitty individuals. It just has to do with individual character. Maybe where they grew up And who raised them. It’s nothing to do with being Italian

@heartache0405 why? Do Italian Americans divorce a lot or breed out of wedlock? Because a lot of bad people I know don't have fathers.

Because Italian Americans are Southern Italians. Southern Italians culturally have an enormous sense of inferiority in relation to northern Italians first and then to any other Western European. Consequently, Italian Americans have the same ingrained sense of inferiority towards Americans. This also stems from having been segregated for generations and being treated as inferior beings, which increases one's sense of inferiority. Which continues to persist among other things, e. g. Lady Gaga is considered Italian despite her Italian she has only the surname, while Trump is not considered German. They respond aggressively to the collective sense of inferiority.

I thought as much. Many of them tend to descend from Sicily.

I never experience that from Americans of Italian decent.

@noohair I have. I am guessing Italian Americans love to divorce, so their children become jerks. Like Ariana Grande.
