BTW, you may not have noticed, but I'm not white -- you are.

As an Italian-American, I'm writing a Italian version of David Roediger's, "How The Irish Became White."

Read, "Race Traitor, " magazine y'all and abolish the white race! It is long overdue.

And, btw, Italian-American were also interned in WWII. A recent book from a university press details this, which I'd never heard before, not even from my Italian relatives in Pittsburgh, whose heavily invested in Italian identity and conservative Catholicism, was one major factor in driving me away from too much of an identity rooted in parochial, ethno-religious factors and towards the secular left.

And, may not have noticed that you are Japanese? Pluueze. That would be as hard as not recognizing that Eugene Genovese is an Italian name.

And, noticed, that you didn't have that snotty last line on the ufpj reply to me. Michael Pugliese
