“If” an Italian was, and told you, you’d explain to him he isn’t really offended, like you’re doing now. Because that’s what you are doing after an Italian told you to knock this shit off.
It kinda contributes to the derogatory stereotypes that are already quite widespread in certain cultures about Italians, i.e., uneducated people who can’t speak a language and talk like super mario and whose life is basically about food.
You miss the point, and the point is that Italians are stereotyped as ignorant who only think about food.
This has nothing to do with Italian food itself.

I’m pretty sure any reasonable Italian would just ignore it and move on.
Or they would cooka da meatball and move on
Which is what I do 99% of the time.
Not this time. This time I speak my piece.
Also, your “if you complain about prejudice you are not reasonable” is not appreciated. It’s straight up abuser talk.
I’m pretty sure @Tyfud cleared up “prejudice” for you pretty nicely.
Actually did not. But that’s another matter. Abuser.
What did they not clear up? What is not understandable in @Tyfud@lemmy.world’s reply?

What is there so disageable about their statement?
Would you mind telling me why you are offended by this?
Because it plays on harmful stereotypes.
How is this even a question?
Just how is “I cooka da meatball” harmful?

I highly respect Italians for their delicious food. I have never heard of someone making fun of Italians for that.
