Stereotypes Against Italians

Stereotypes Against Italians

There are many stereotypes against Italian people that still exist today. For starters, many think that all Italian people eat would be either pizza or pasta. Obviously, though that is a common food, when people hear the term Italy, all they think about is the Italian population just sitting around eating pizza or pasta. Another stereotype against Italians would be that their men are womanizers. Many tend to believe that Italian men will approach a woman, especially if she is walking alone, and he will tend to hug her or kiss her hand, to allow her to feel a sort of attraction. In addition, many believe that Italian men have an unhealthy relationship with their mother, since some tend to live with their parents until they are even thirty years old. Although these stereotypes are well known and many believe that they are facts, a whole group of people should not be judged by these misconceptions since no one is the same, and one should never be judges by who they are and what background they have.
