>fucking Italians

They targeted Italians.

Italians.

We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little serving of pasta saying we did.

We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.

We’ll spend most if not all of our free time perfecting the art of the pizza all to draw out a single extra point of taste per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same ingredients over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know every little detail such that some have attained such Italian nirvana that they can literally make pasta blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many pots have been smashed, Stoves over heated, disks and Rolling pins destroyed in frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our Chefs? Italians aren’t shy about throwing their pasta else where, or even making the pizza our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty pizza stone. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the cook off of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Italians are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challenge. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challenge us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another food fight
