Italians are still considered 'ethnic' and will never be seen as an average white guy in America.

This is simply not true. I live in an area that has many people of Italian descent, and, they are seen as mainstream Americans. Perhaps 50 years ago this was true, but not today. In fact, the Italian culture is almost revered here. I know of people who claim Italian descent, even though they have none, just because it is admired.
