Thats nationalism.

Also from the way you typed that it sounds like you still are.
Now I accept that. I hate them but I don't tell them anything. I let them do what they want. Italy is a beautiful and crappy place at the same moment.

Ahhhh tourists is a different matter.

How you deal with tourists is you make their lives as hard as humanly possible without doing anything illegal and then laugh behind their backs when they screw up.

I hate it when white people call each other niggers, even more when white people call black people niggers, as in "Wassup nigger"
That kid deserved his beating, south african too, just shows what these people think they can get away with.
I don't mind black people referring to themselves as niggers, just shows that they've taken the insult as a joke, and know that it's just a word, like how greeks, italians, etc. call each other wogs.
Actually everyone I know doesn't actually know what a wog is, I mean, I have spannish/ portugese blood, doesn't that mean I'm hlaf wog or what?
Bah this whole thing confuses me.
Rascism is just an excuse for people to think they're better than others, the same for any other "ism" I guess.
Actually bagging out alienmagi is racism, becuase as he said, he's part of his own seperate race.
So everyone lets stop paying him out
Burrrrr..... seriously Alienmagi, don't even try to fool us, or we'll just use your alien claims against you, remmber, according to you, you don't have any sexual organs. :P

Wog is an offensive British term referring to Africans or Asians from the days of the British Empire and all that imperialistic nonsense.

I wouldn't play with the children in the naughty corner if I was you. It may impact badly on what others think.

NOTE. Not threat or anything like that. Friendly warning.

Wog is used differently in Australia, I was referring to the Australian use.
In which it refers to western europeans sort of, or the more darker europeans.
Abe is Now! you have to sympathsize why they're illigal immagrants, I mean it's all well and good to go around hating them if you live in a stable environment, and have a decent income, but these people don't, they're illigal immagrants because they need income for their families and for their own survival, and somehow don't suffer enough to be called aslyum seekers.

Ok the first thing to do here is to filter out lies and misconceptions.

1, Are they from Europe? If your answer was yes then you're an idiot because all borders in the EU are open and there is no such thing as an illegal alien. (I will cry if I hear an Alienmagi related joke at this point)

2, Are they actually illegal or are they refugees/asylum seekers? If your answer was 'I don't know' then you're an idiot for not doing backup research on the topic. Take note of which countries and ethnicity they are and this may help in deciding whether they are trying to escape persecution or 'merely' after a better standard of living.

3, Where do you get your high handed generalisations from? If Italy is anything like England then actions taken by immigrants that you read about in the media are blown up out of all proportion and isolated incidents are used as key examples by the press as to why 'Immigrants are ruining your country' whereas (again if Italy is anything like Britain as I don't know too much about your country) by looking at figures provided by the government (and not the press) you should be able to see that immigrants provide a boost to your countries economic and cultural wellbeing rather than a drain.

4, What, in your opinion, do they do to make Italy 'so crappy'? Thats the one question where the only person who can answer it is YOU AIN.

I answer to your previous post Wings of Fire. I don't want to tell here who are they. Someone of those immigrants aren't illegal. But they are all ignorant, they haven't any culture. They think just to do what they want. They go to our beautiful torrents and they have picnics. Then they leave their rubbish there. And our forests, woods, lawns and banks are full of bottles, plastic bags, washers, refrigerators and others. But they can do what they want because nobody tell them something. What do they do to Italy? They destroy it. But I must accept this. I am not racist for them. I just hate what they do to the country.

Are you in Italy now? I see them because they are everywhere. They know what they are doing. Believe me (if you want), they know. For "ignorants" I mean that, although they know what they arew doing, they don't stop doing it. But as always, I will lose. You all are against me. I let you continue hating me and my opinions.

Every country has immigrants and every country has people who blame immigrants from every problem from economics to health, despite the fact that it is blatantly obvious that the locals are the primary cause, largely because there are more of them. I've seen it all before.

That was a rather roundabout way of saying that Italians are sometimes stereotyped as being from the Mafia. To be honest I think you're more in danger from pizza chefs and plumbers.
