Do Italians on /int/ consider Anthony Scaramucci to be an Italian-American or just an American? For those who don't know, he's Donald Trump's new White House Communications Director.

yrev very good post
Europeans generally don't like hyphenated-Americans ("MUH HERITAGE fags").
That is, unless they need the US support, and then they reach out directly to diaspora and americans with european ancestry. For example, Germany pushed propaganda to Americans with german ancestry during both world wars; and many German-Americans were against US involvement in the wars. It was a big deal during the Irish war for independence (Irish-Americans were being called on directly by the Irish to fund their war efforts). I'm seeing a little of this with Polish interest groups talking to Polish-Americans. They made damn certain that Trump was aware that Polish-Americans voted for him (a voting block that I've never heard about previously), to appeal to his ego in hopes that he will make more firm defense commitments to Poland.

Just checked, this guy only had 1 Italian grandparent, so yeah, he is an American with Italian heritage.
The problem with "Italian-Americans" is that lots of times they are only like 1/16 Italian and feel like they are some kind of authority on Italy and it's culture, while at the same time they keep giving credit to retarded stereotypes that were originally used to insult Italians, like acting as if they were characters from the Sopranos, pronouncing shit wrong like gabagool etc. etc. absolutely disgusting.

So it's not the notion of identifying as an Italian-American you dislike but the attitude people sometimes can have that goes along with it? Fair enough.
