I watched a clip a year ago called racism in Europe.

That is just soccer, I could care less, I mean sports drive people nuts and it is fairly common for people especially here in the US to throw Bananas and Peanuts at their black basketball and football players.

Well recently I visited Italy with my girlfriend, she looks like a White girl with Black hair but is really a Latina. I on the other hand am an Indian guy (India) type and we received stares by some people. One person pointed and me and shook his head after looking at her, I was slightly darker than her, not significantly but slightly.

Now I also noticed that on Stormfront they have a large number of Italians, Spaniards and Southern Europeans. They far outnumber the infamous WASPs and other Northern Europeans. I have friends that live there (my friends are American) and they say they are so amazed at how openly racist Spaniards and Italians are.

One of my professors is an Indian guy and the woman he is married to is a White German woman with Blonde hair and blue eyes. He said he was attacked and even ridiculed in Italy for being with her and everything like that.

I never hear of people in Northern Europe and Central Europe at this day and age going through that. Why are Southern Europeans (Italians and Spanish specifically) so racist?

Easy:

They have historically got less immigration. More importantly they are poorer and ignorant. A lot of the hardcore racist have a "white complex" for not looking Nordic..., but the latter is more on the internet, not in real everyday life.

I've never had this happen in Central Europe either...but I have heard stories of Italians from several people...when I was in Italy, years ago, I was with my family, no white folks with us, so I don't know, I don't remember much to be honest. I wonder would it would be like today if I went with my fiancee. We talked about going to Torino and Milano...
