    I grew up Cajun Catholic. My mom was terrfying in her physical discipline. There was no "wait till your dad gets home." So I love your jokes, I totally understood everything.

      Cajun here. Well - Cajun mom. My mom was left handed so she would backhand me all the way home from school while she drove with the other hand.
      And she was a teacher - so not only was she mad over whatever awful thing I did, I got the backhanding she couldn’t give every other eighth grader she saw every day.

    A lot of this applies to Hispanics just the same. Both Mediterranean culture derived people. From an appearance perspective this guy can pass as Middle Eastern.

      Many Italians in America look Middle Eastern because they are from south. The southerners do look ok Middle Eastern because both are Meditteranean. I went to north italy though and everybody looked typical French (not exotic)

    He is not wrong however my family and I were not a traditional white family and we got the belt or wooden spoon. My older siblings got the worst of it and i learned real quick of what not to do to avoid the belt and wooden spoon. He is hilarious and I love it! Thanks for uploading.

    I grew up in a Turkish family from the mediterranean sea area, but was born and raised in the Netherlands.
    I too found african american comedians the funniest.. Lawrence, Chappelle, Pryor, Bernie Mac, Chris Rock.. always laughed about the white people jokes, because american white people seemed to be similair to dutch white people.
    One time I was watching a bit of Murphy, or something else on a tv-show, I don't quite remember.. but the thing was that Italian-Americans were classified als white and that a black-american comedian or actor made fun of them the same way the comedians mentioned above did with actual white people. I never understood how Italian-Americans were generally seen as white people.
    As I said, I'm from a Turkish family and I learned about Italians through movies and series. Their physical appearances and mannerisms, family structure, etc. etc. always reminded me of my own culture. And I did find Italians, or specifically Sicilians, to look similair to Turks. In general Turks have black hair, brown eyes.. some are white-ish looking.
    Anyway, there's one time my mom and I were visiting family in Germany, so we were there to stay for at least a night. I misbehaved, but my mom couldn't do what she usually does, because we weren't going home soon. So she went to the bathroom, and told me to come with her. In the hallway she dragged me into a random bedroom, happend to be my cousin's, the pushed me on the bed, hold me down with one knee as she was searching for a sock to stuff in my mouth. After that she pinched en punched me for misbehaving. Told me to shut the fuck up and don't let anybody know what just happened.

      Yea I don’t think it makes sense to group Western Europeans in with Mediterranean Europeans- who generally have more in common with a non European such as a Turk or Arab. But to be fair, plenty of ‘white’ kids get beaten too. My family’s Turkish and I didn’t get beaten growing up, but my English friend did

    My 100% Sicilian grandma beat my uncle with a thick wooden spoon so hard it broke. She never hit them with a spoon again, and then my mom was born, so that explains a lot.

    My mother’s go-to threat was always “if you don’t knock it off I’m gonna hang you by your toenails.”
    My grandmother just had a fat diamond ring she’d slap your mouth with.
    But for the big man it was just “I’m gonna call your father” which was enough of a lightning rod to fix scoliosis.

    Americans with distant Italian ancestors are not Italian themselves. Your culture is clearly foreign from us Italians and clearly American, down with obsession with racial classifications.
    Also I'm sorry if you grew up in a violent family but that doesn't mean an entire nationality of people (that said family has some far ancestors from) has to be brought to account.
