My parents could not be more Italian.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Italians always know that I'm not Italian.
Well, I'm Italian, but my family isn't stereotypical. I mean, I only have one sister and we don't yell or throw pasta at each other. My mother doesn't even have a secret spaghetti sauce recipe.
The secret is that I am Italian.
I love being Italian.
My father was adopted. He grew up in the Italian household.
I am a proud Italian American, raised by an Italian mother and Italian grandparents.
My parents were both from extremely different backgrounds. My father's Italian, my mother was of Swedish descent. They're both first-generation Americans.
The Italian culture and values have significantly shaped who I am, and I would never intentionally demean or degrade the very culture that has been so integral to my life.
Yes, I'm half Italian. So my grandfather speaks heavy Italian... and I couldn't understand a word he said.
My parents are Polish. I don't know anything about Italian-ness.
