Yeah, I was a little offended by this. My family is off the boat from Ellis Island in the 20s type of Italians...and a good portion Sicilian. Without revealing too much, my last name is more or less "Africa" with some spelling variations and Italianization. You can't always figure out what someone's ethnic background is by looking at them...I have olive skin, dark hair and dark eyes, but my grandma has pale white skin and my grandpa looks black. Southern Italians do not have the "stereotypical" white features in the first place, and many have more "black" features, yet still have to check the caucasian box on financial aid forms because they are of European descent. I totally agree with lacey BIG TIME on this one.
