Edit: HOLY SH*T 500K VIEWS, my mom would be proud Also, for all those who ask me and have asked me to do a slander on another country like China or Iran I'm sorry to tell you that I will not do other Slanders that do not involve other nations other than Italy, not because I'm an as*hole, but because I don't know other countries very well unlike my homeland and rather than doing a crap I prefer not to make them, I will not do other slanders who do not invole Italy
These videos of slander of different countries, are actually really interesting even if you're not from the country. Gives you a little insight into the relations within the country.
WE ARE. Jk. We just want you to understand that “Italian American” is its own, very distinct diaspora. Distinct enough to have its own culture and recognition. Obviously there’s still influence from Italy itself but yeah it’s different.
I love this format, because it gives you a great inside view of what happens in a country and how they themselves perceive their regions and characteristic
It's not so accurate, i'm italian and there aren't separatist movements or rumors from südtyrol, Venetians aren't alcholics and Aosta Valley is famous for it's mountains.
milan is one of the most expensive city probably in europe neapolitans are very proud being from naples and there is also a bad image of the city in italy piedmont is the north-western part of italy and the only citu there who has more than 200 000 inhabitants is turin Bologna, home of the most ancient universities in europe, is famous for being left-wing due to the middle ages' past, tuscan cities were often at war one with another sardinia is an island in the middle of the mediterranean who also is an italian region where for centuries sheep breeding was the backbone of all socioeconomic relations abruzzo is where l'aquila is, the city that has neen destroyed by an earthquake in 2008 all the north-eastern part of italy has a reputation for being aplace where people drink a lot .....just ask😜
@@davidebic "Carbonara (Italian: [karboˈnaːra]) is an Italian pasta dish from Rome[1][2] made with eggs, hard cheese, cured pork, and black pepper. The dish arrived at its modern form, with its current name, in the middle of the 20th century.[3]" You ain't just a clown, you're the entire freakin circus
@@bebsss fra lo giuro, all'incirca 3 anni fa nell'agosto del 2019 sono andato a San Francisco a trovare i miei parenti che abitano lì, siamo arrivati lì per le sette di sera e quindi abbiamo cenato subito. Per cena (visto che eravamo italiani e volevano darci il benvenuto) hanno fatto la pasta alla carbonara, però ci hanno aggiunto la panna che di solito si aggiunge nei tortellini non so se hai idea, fatto sta' che appena l'ho visto avevo paura di mangiarlo. Ovviamente l'ho mangiato da buon ospite e non era neanche male ma si sentiva che gli ingredienti erano scadenti, in ogni caso, mai più carbonara con la panna. [Now I'll say it in english because RU-vid traducer is wacky and if someone actually wants to read this he doesn't have to traduce it] Around 3 years ago in the august of 2019 i went to San Francisco to meet up with my American parents that live there, we arrived at their house around 7PM so we had dinner when we arrived. For dinner they made us pasta alla carbonara (since we are Italian and for a good welcoming), but, they put cream in the pasta. At first i was scared to eat but obliviously i did because of good manners, and it wasn't even as bad as i imagined but i can't say the same for ingredients, they had poor quality.
@@davidebic not really: carbonara was created by an italian chef that was working with the Allies during WW2 in the liberated Rome: he was given the task to prepare an adequate dish for a supper where the 8th british division and the 4th american division in italy were dining, so he used american rations as ingredients and served it to the officiers, which appreciated. So yeah, og ingredients are american, but the chef (and alas, the dish) is ITALIAN. Period.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="91">1:31</a> People from Sardinia in Italy, Welsh in UK, La Mancha in Spain, Corsica in France and the whole of Ireland, share the same slander. They should establish an international community.
fun fact: willy, the welsh gardener of the Simpsons, was dubbed in Italian with the Sardinian dialect pretty much because of this "similarity" between Sardinians and welsh people.
For Molise, I would have shown just a black, silent screen, because we Italians joke about the fact that "Il Molise non esiste" ("Molise does not exist", owing to the fact that Molise is the newest Italian region, being formed only in 1963 after separating from the Abruzzo, and that it is not a particularly eventful region). Apart from that, this video is 100% spot on! Complimenti!!👏👏👏
Oh, don't be so rude to Calabrians! They are very polite, nice and hospital people, you know! Last time I visited them they started giving me all their bananas and coconuts, so sweet 🥰🥰
I can't believe how accurate the Tuscany one is. I mean, I wouldn't have thought of putting that in but it's the most perfect thing you could have said
Explanation: 1. South Tyrol is a region where German is the main language 2. Tuscany used to be divided into many little countries since the middle ages and there is still a big rivalry between the cities 3.Neapolitans are very difensive about their city, that is often joked about in a non positive way 4. One of the main products of Umbria region is chocolate 5. Emilia Romagna used the be one of the "red regions" (and still kinda is) and Bologna, its capital, is home to one of the main Italian university and famous for its students that are very leftist 6. Very easy, Genoese are considered the most stingy people in Italy 7. Drinking is an important part of Venetian culture 8. Don't particularly know 9. Friuli is seen as an extension of Veneto by many, but its people are proud of their culture (their language is one of the few regional language officially recognised) 10. Abruzzo is a very seismic region, and suffered many earthquakes in the last decades 11. I don't particularly know, Aosta Valley is the smallest region in Italy 12. Pretty easy to understand 13. Calabria is the poorest region in Italy and in recent year surfaced the meme of his inhabitants being monkeys 14. Apulia's main product is Olive oil, but in recent year a virus spread through Olive trees in the region 15. Sicilians have an internal conflict about the correct name of one of their main food, arancino/a 16. Once again it's food, Panna on carbonara is seen as a sin by romans 17. Marche aren't famous for many things, but they're home of one of the most important Italian poets, Giacomo Leopardi, famous for his depressed style 18. Sardinia has a lot of sheeps, and Sardinian fucking them is a meme in Italy 19. Trentino is one of the region where inhabitants are more blasphemous 20 & 21. Basilicata and Molise are two small and often insignificant regions
@@erdenebilegb.379 Is not less religious, they are actually more catholic than most regions, they just like to say blasphemies. In Italy a blasphemy is an imprecation against God or another religious thing, often times even believers say them because they are seen as normal imprecations
As an Italian, I can confirm this is accurate. Us Venetians drink 37 shots per saturday night on average and it is a measurement (spsn, shottini per sabato notte) for how much we say blasphemies.
As a Greek i can't help but love all of Italy, it's spectacular culture and the wonderful people. Every time I meet Italians we just can't stop laughing 🤣 Amazing people.
@@jecko980 I have been called that. But it’s not a racial slur It’s pretty much northern Italians making fun of southern Italians (I would’ve wrote this in Italian but I want everyone here to be able to read this)
@@jpmunzi6799 Aspettavo ansiosamente questa battuta ;) Sono disposto a barattare un po' della vostra deliziosa cioccolata con uno dei nostri vini più pregiati, accetta?
As a person living in Lazio outside of Rome, I feel obliged to add the fact that we do react like the "Stop talking about Among Us" guy when we're all called Romans. Also, if anyone asks, the Maremma tends to have the same yellow tint as Mexico every summer. Everything is yellow.
@@danielemaggio6999 Man mano che ti allontani scompare la civiltà. Per il nordovest (la zona che so dire io), gli ultimi baluardi di società sono Civitavecchia e Bracciano. Oltre, eccetto Viterbo, è terra di nessuno
@@danielemaggio6999 listen i dont know the measurements of the reagon but its filled wuth other towns and medieval abandoned stuff, now if you tell me that rome should be the name of the entire nation i will agree with you
I'm venetian and it's so true that everybody drinks like a fish, I seem to be the only exception that I know about, I seem to be the only venetian to 100% dislike the taste of alcohol. Also, for all my italian compatriots, remember, il Molise non esiste.
As an American who's never been to Italy and who's entire knowledge of Italy stems from ww2 memes and songs that are inaccurately associated with spaghetti, I can confirm this is probably accurate
So you don't even know that your continent was discovered by an Italian and that your name is "America" thanks to "Amerigo Vespucci" who was another Italian And I guess you don't even know that practically half of the most famous actors you have and singers of the past have Italian origins. Great Americans, really great ...
@@MrJack9325 Of course not. I was taught that Colombus was a Spanish-made cheeseburger who found his way to the new world and taught the natives how to read, which was so shocking to them that they died from small pox as a result. And we learn that the continents were named after our country and not after an old cartographer, as our country is the best. But we know about the celebs. We just don't care that they're Italian since most only play that up for marketing and they don't actually represent anything about Italy itself.
@@nbewarwe So you know nothing about Roman Empire, Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Michelangelo, Dante... dude you've missed 3-4 years at the school. Ok
Infatti sono andato a chiedere a ogni persona che conoscevo che non fosse della mia regione quindi: Un siciliano Un Udinese Un Piemontese Un Pugliese Un Veneto Un Toscano E un Milanese (io)
For foreigners: Neapolitans are particularly sensitive about their city and cultural identity because in the past, but in reality still today, the people of the north were racist, calling them "terroni", which if analyzed is a term that means a little of everything: Ignorant, dirty, uncivilized, peasants, cholera ". The houses for rent had signs outside the entrance that read" No to dogs or Neapolitans ", and made them live like tramps in abandoned train cars or in overpriced shacks . They were treated as second-level human beings and still today, as long ago, they hoped that Vesuvius would erupt and kill all the Neapolitans and Naples. Now you know why they are particularly defensive.
Yeah but now they think they earned the right to punch back, in fact especially if you are outnumbered they just vomit whatever kind of disrespectful stereotype towards northern people further feeding whatever hatred and divide is still present
@@conkeed5799 everyone has the right to argue. That of the Neapolitans is a simple defense mechanism, a reaction to what they have suffered. Is it always wrong? yes. But there is a difference between responding and attacking first imho
@@DonnieDuck02 we aren’t talking about a direct response, but a thing they will always fell they are entitled to do especially if they are not condemned. Since it’s objectively infinitely better now than 50-60 years ago, when they will stop? Is there an expiration date on this behaviour after which it won’t be excused as being less bad? Instead of letting bad people grow or die out they are just inimicating young and educated people that have done nothing against them, but they may in turn do the same in the future as a “response” the their behaviour.
@@conkeed5799 You are right, but it is not necessarily true that the situation is better. Compared to 60 years ago you can no longer behave in a racist way so brazenly because there is more protection regarding the law, but I assure you that the ways have changed, but not the form. Just as the Neapolitans teach, even unconsciously, negative stereotypes about the north, the inhabitants of northern Italy are no different and in fact I suggest you take a tour on facebook pages and get a good read of comments. Even the Italian journalistic system has a not indifferent bias towards the South. Like someone steals an apple in Naples and fanpage puts it on the front page, in the north they slaughter an old woman and cut it into a thousand pieces and put it on the third page if all goes well. This too is discrimination and the fruit of a mentality that has not yet healed.
As an Italian,born in Italy , of Italian decent I can definitely say "You can't call yourself italian for blood but for culture. If you are something-Italian then you are not Italian. Being Italian means to abandon every other. It's like taking vows"
@@IValueYourOpinionAsAirInPoop we don't care though, we'll say we're Italians and you have to accept it because we're not going to change the way we think for you guys. If you don't like us it's ok, I mean you even hate each other so it makes sense.
@@IValueYourOpinionAsAirInPoop You obviously don’t understand the significance of the Italian American diaspora. We’re not claiming we’re “Italian,” though obviously there IS some influence there. So maybe… you understand us just as much (or as little) as we understand you
Geez, the one about tuscany is scary. Scary cuz is real, im from tuscany and i can confirm. Im actually from Livorno and there is something like a feud (or actually a verbal fight) between Livorno and Pisa (the one city with the strange tower). Its a really interesting story indeed
When people from Trieste are reminded they could have stayed annexed to Austria (they regret joining Italy) When people from Trieste get called "Friulians" instead of "Julian"
Let's not forget the most important piedmontese town of all: Domodossola, since without it us Italians would not have the letter D, true and only typical product of that town
These national slander videos are unironically making me more interested in learning more about their culture and wish to visit them to experience it first hand
