Why, in real life people don't call italians white then i start going on here and people start saying italians are white you can tell the difference between a white person and an italian person, not only by skin color but by facial features.

Because they haven't heard of the term Mediterranean.

fortuitously, the query grew to become into deleted. traditionally talking, some holier-than-thou racist Anglo and Aryan ethnic communities in u.s. supposedly did no longer think of (and that i assume apparently nonetheless do no longer think of) that Italians are racially "white." those are an identical people who do no longer think of that Catholics are Christians or that the Nazis killed tens of millions of Jews for the duration of WWII, and that they probable all voted for King George the II (you already know, the president of the U. S. without whom gas fees would not be $4 a gallon and without whom the dollar itself would not be much less the 0.5 the fee of a euro ). Tutti pots'

How are Italians NOT white? I don't get it. Maybe when some say White, they mean from the USA, which would be a pretty stupid definition. It's lame anyway how in the USA we have to have a million categories for everything.

i'm italian and i say that your question hides racism.
i don't know how to answer to your question, because we italians don't classify people through darkness of skin, we are all italians!
I have white skin, all italian people that i know have got white skin
Italy is a country that has got thousands years of history and civilazation, to the contrary of your nation
in italy settled down hundreds populations from all over the ancient world:
- the celts
-the germans
-the normans (from norway)
-the vandals (from north africa)
-the spanish
-the french
-the arabs, etc

Italians are considered Caucasion...you know, Europeans basically. Which is where Italy is in case you didn't know. But race is only a social construct anyway. If you want to put them in some other category feel free. Why this would matter to you or anyone else is beyond me.
