Italian Immigration from Italy to America
The transition of integrated races is a topic that raises many issues in today’s society as well as centuries ago. Race is typically defined by ones’ ethnic background while discrimination is typically defined by age, skin color, educational and religious backgrounds as well as political, wealth and society interactions. I’d like to discuss predominately the Italian American Immigrants and how their transition from Europe to America has steadily increased within the modern day world. Prior to the twentieth century, Italian Americans were considered “inferior races by native-born Anglo-Protestant Americans.”
