MODERATORS
Don't forget " oh he's Italian, so he is white" was probably a decent amount of their piggish thinking
Cuomo is also white/Italian though.
Cuomo is actually an italian surname
Actually Cuomo ends with an 'o', silly Billy.
Funny thing is, there are at least a couple Middle-Eastern comedians on r/StandupComedy who made jokes about how the audience must be confused when the ‘Italian’ man on the stage starts talking about his Lebanese, Palestinian or Iranian background.
I'm sorry but if I think Italian I immediately think slightly dark skin in my mind...idk not that it matters just what I visualize
What matters is that it's the correct side of Mediterranean
