Northern Italians be like “BLACK LIVES MATTER. SAY NO TO RACISM. I CAN’T BREATHE”. And then go “actually southern Italians are inferior”.

And quite often this perceived “inferiority” is based off of perverse pseudo racial ideas based on the south being “nearer Africa”.

Uhm, idk. I’ve only heard that from non-Italian people on the internet, mainly Anglos. In my experience, it’s always been about how intellectually, linguistically and culturally inferior we are compared to northern Italians. For some northern Italians, even southern Italy is ugly, wild, ungoverned and uncivilised. Northern Italians often even act surprised or incredulous southern Italy can have, like, brilliant doctors.

On the Italian American side of things this stuff even traveled to North America with them. Both the Italian Canadians and the Italian Americans always revered the northern parts as “better”, my father’s Calabrese family always saying “well at least we’re not Sicilians!” (Which, if my 23andme proves anything, it’s that we are indeed part Sicilian). According to my mother, who’s family ancestry is mostly concentrated in the area close to the Swiss Alps, older family members who had all mostly died before I was born used to say things a bit too prejudiced to type out about the south of Italy, emphasizing how poor and uneducated it was, even though they themselves left Italy for Canada to escape crushing poverty.

This breaks my heart.

My parents are from southern Italy, but I was born and raised in the north and let me tell you, some people here really say that southerners are inferior. They call us “terroni”, pejorative term for southerners. That’s how we are called.

“Terroni work less hard”, “terroni are less educated”, “terroni have no culture”, “terroni should only work in tomato fields”, “terroni are all involved with the mafia”, and so on and so forth. Yes. In 2020, we are told this. Even I- born and raised in a northern region- am sometimes referred to as such, and not jokingly.

Despite all the historical evidence against “southerners are inferior and less educated”, it really breaks my heart that some still think that southern regions are inferior in 2020.

All regions had their problems in the past, and we all do, but collaboration could potentially help solve this. War, famine, drought, diseases. All regions had those at some point.

But the average italian person keeps voting for politicians that think of Italy as a divided country, so this won’t end any time soon sadly.
