So France can colonize wherever, but those people can't become French. I see.

Err, while France has its problems in that regard, too, Italy != France.

I do not think Italy = France, I confused them. o.O

I think you mean Italy, which was also a colonial power. But yeah, in this regard, 'same difference', although I think France has had more public debate on race in the media than Italy.

The right wing racist, xenophobic parties are on the rise in both countries though -_- .

Goddamn it, Italy. Fucking stop it.

People tell me that America is so much worse than Europe when it comes to racism, and I just laaaaaaaugh and laaaaaaaaaaaaugh. No, we're all pretty horrible, and this in particular is despicable.

What an asshole. People who feel like Calderoli should have no right to work in politics.

TW racism, violence, genocide

members of that party have previously suggested opening fire on boats full of immigrants from Africa and to round up all the foreigners, dress them up as hares and start shooting at them. others were convicted of inciting racial hatred (though another court overturned that conviction). this party is fully of racist dickbags.

I'll take "apologies that aren't" for $200, Alex. That one is textbook.
