And to the part where they claimed the Italians had crosses burned in their yard is a load of horseshit. They would have been considered "white" here in the South back in those days as well so the KKK (the idiots that they are) wouldn't have been harassing them. We have a good bit of Catholics here as well and have had for years, so Italians have always fit in here pretty well as have had the French/Creoles and the Indians. The government ran them off, not us. Many of us married into all 4 of those mentioned above.
That actually is true dixie, Italians were often discriminated in the south. Look it up, the biggest mass-lynching in the United States happened to Italians, not blacks as you would think.
