IDBillzFan Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Most Italians I know refer to themselves as "Italian-American" (or sometimes simply "Italian"). "American of Italian descent" would be more correct, but that's not how people refer to these things, in normal conversation. Out here we refer to ourselves at the Americans of Italian Descent of Anaheim.
Beerball Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Out here we refer to ourselves at the Americans of Italian Descent of Anaheim which is in close proximity to Los Angeles. more better Guido.

Beerball Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Americans of Italian Descent of Anaheim which is in close proximity to Los Angeles well not really but there's more money there. Definitely more better.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 shouldnt he be called an American president of African- American descent (well kind of), rather than an African-American President?I dont believe he has any power in Africa. Someone's splitting hairs.
erynthered Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Someone's splitting hairs. That coming from you is freakin hilarious!!
dib Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 EZ Crew- is your Avatar Biden's high school yearbook picture?
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 That coming from you is freakin hilarious!! Ok, that's fair. But we call JFK our first Catholic President. It doesn't imply that he was President of all the world's Catholics. So why can't we call Obama the first African American President?
