i wonder why people insist on labeling italians as latin. latin only by tongue maybe since is italian is a neolatin language. but still i’m wondering whats the link between italy, which is in europe and the term ‘latin’, which is commonly used for people of latin american anchestry. there’s like an atlantic ocean between them. seriously, somebody tells me why.

Most Italians especially ones from the south of Italy are darker skin and have jet black hair and dark brown eyes or dark hazel and italians and greeks didn’t become apart of the European nation until England and the rest of the northern Europeans decided to trade products using market system and persuadeing them to unite for assistance in time of aid between war stricken countries to keep them from invasion after the fall of rome. ITALY is more apart of the Mediaterrianea which also are decendents of the original Estrucans and Greeks! Which in a way most Italians did travel to Mexico and inspired the culture their to bring about the same colors of the Italian Flag If that makes sense.

ok, i’ll clear your mind about some facts. first of all i’m italian and a very little part of the things you said are rights, the rest its bullsh*t. you made a point by saying that mostly southern italians are dark skinned but actually just because (i assume you are american) most of the italian-american people you see there are from deep south like Sicily where dark features are more common. fair features are common exactly in the same way of the dark ones everywhere in Italy. nothing more, nothing less. Dark features doesn’t make us ‘latinos’. about european union you must be not well educated about that because: the first European type of union was made by Italy, France, Netherlands, West Germany named The European Coal And Steel Community; and the first territorial union was decided in Rome. So it means that Italy is part of the EU since its first times. Then if you’re talking about other ages, just explain yourself. About that Mexican flag story, the flag was actually inspired to the French one when Italy was conqueered by Napoleon. But that mexican fantasy was quite funny.
Anyways ‘Latino’ is a term used to describe Hispanic people not all Mediterrean people. Its a stereotype. Hispanic people: people from the Iberian paeninsula and Latin America. Latin is the language talked by all Central and South european people in the Roman ages and its the base of italian, french, spanish, portuguese, romanian languages, and believe me or not the 45% of nowadays english words has english roots. So Nothing to do with ‘Latinos’.
i just can’t stand at ignorant people who are so sure of the absurd things they’re saying.

sorry, I don’t want to offend anyone, but with all the information that people are filling me with about why some Italans look a certain way n’ stuff, I think my heads going to pop open. lol Once I see those long comments I just avoid them because they scare me away ’cause usually the’re sorta boring LOL! Anyway, I could care less if Gaga was Italian. Actually, I thank it’s cool ’cause I am too! I like her, but she may claim that she’s artistic, but sometimes it’s just a little too much. lol
