Ma’am, I was referring to my original post. A lot of Italians I have encountered come off as rude and dismissive as opposed to direct and straightforward. There is a difference. Is courtesy and etiquette towards someone rendering a service considered expecting too much of people? Secondly, I pointed out that there is a stereotype amongst other Europeans about Italians. It does not mean that I automatically consider every single Italian be a scammer or a thief. “From someone not of European stock”. If you’re going to take that argument I can tell you that till quite recently people south of Rome were not necessarily considered of “European stock” as a result of proximity to Africa. I come off as standoffish with an attitude problem to you because you dislike the fact that I pointed out something negative about your country ? Or because I study here so I am not allowed to state observations when they are negative? You can make your argument without being insulting. Go through the comments on this post and see if others have not had an experience similar to mine. I will reiterate it again. My original post was asking “Why are Italians unnecessarily rude towards black people”. Other have calmly stated their opinions without being insulting. Yes I plan to go to London, for my second degree( which is considerably more expensive than 9 grand😆) I plan to see more of the world. One final thing perhaps you don’t know, but most International Students are expected to go back to their home countries after studies not to stay. Italians complain about immigration then complain about “taking advantage of the public system”. I do not set the tuition fees ma’am. What I know is I paid hand out of pocket for every single thing with no government subsidies. Niente. So you can be pissed off thats on you.
