This child is perpetuating offensively xenophobic Italian stereotypes.

That was pretty funny because it's true, but where's her balcony?
Very funny!
Oh my God thanks for that. That kid is beyond cute and obviously very very well-loved. The world is a beautiful place.
I realize that being Italian means using your hands. I grew up out east w/ many Italians. When I moved to the Midwest I noticed people would be transfixed on my hands when I speak.
Hey Althouse:
Hysterically Funny, I would welcome a translation, but its even funnier to imagine what the topic and arguments presented were. Most likely this is a reenactment of recent SCOTUS oral arguments.
Irregardless of the topic, I want this girl on retainer as my attorney.
Adorable. She has all the hand gestures, inflections and attitude down to a T.
I'm seeing "Downfall" type parodies.
"When Trump learns that his campaign has been spied on.
"When Biden learns that Tara has accused him."
"When Fauci learns that the virus arrived here from China last September."
MEMRI documents what the Muslims do to utterly poison their children's mind towards "the JEWS." [MEMRI - Middle East Media Research Institute]
Pretty disgusting, but when you see examples of such hatred by Muslims towards Jewish people, all based on the Muslims' Qur'an, you understand why there will never be peace. Because the Muslims refuse to be peaceful.
She talks like my father-in-law did. Fortunately, it did not get passed down.
I'm a racist, you're a racist
she's a racist, he's a racist
don't you want to be a racist too?
(sung to the tune of the Dr. Pepper jingle)
As a Jewish guy who was mistaken for a Florentine native 3 times (Other American tourist: "Excuse me, can you tell me where the train station is?" Me: "Nope, but let me know when you find out."), I've often thought that Jews and Italians are from the same union, just different locals.
You've got:
Lotsa gesticulation.
Matriarchy.
"Eat something!"
Guilt.
Her grandparents or one of them must baby sit her. Saw this on twitter too. Just lovely. To me it sounds like she was calling someone a Fredo.
You've got to be carefully taught.
Someone should report her to the San Antonio city council.
She's literally Hitler.
From my experience Italian women have to be in the kitchen to talk and gesticulate like that.
And she is!
Okay, that's in four different categories I can't stand, but it's hilarious.
Titania McGrath is a treasure
As a Jewish guy who was mistaken for a Florentine
My brother-in-law is in banking, and mostly Mexican. He is frequently greeted with "Shalom"!
That girl is a right handed supremacist.
I think I'm watching what my Italian grandparents looked like as kids.
Those hand gestures. Perfect. Adorable.
Remember that according to “Whiteness Studies” (which do not, at all, promote racial bigotry on college campuses) Irish and Italian immigrants were not originally White. Thank goodness they are no longer marginalized and othered.
I went to a mainly-Italian NJ elementary school back in the very early 1950's. There I picked up lots of playground Italian, which mystified my Milwaukee-bred parents. Phrases like "Doozy Pots" (Tu sei pazz'). By 4th grade they yanked me out of there and put me in with the Anglos.
Tatiana’s head is likely to explode when this little girl learns to make the “OK” sign.
FAntastic, how this child already has a lot of the expressive Italian hand gestures--really, hand signals!

"Titania McGrath" does more good with this parody account than all the authors at Slate, the NYT, and The New Yorker combined.
Althouse prefers the bad guys.
Basta!
This is like a Disney version of La Dolce Vita.
Love it!
Color bias is normal. Diversity (e.g. color prejudice including racism) breeds adversity.
Wonderful!!! Made my day!
Piccolo Mussolini! Basta!
So much better than where I came in this morning. My wife, who is Italian on her mother's sides, talks with her hands. Funny thing is, her mother didn't, particularly.

Maybe it skips generations
I tell my half-Italian daughter that if we tied her hands behind her back, we would render her speechless.
Maybe this would be a good time to mention that it's VE Day 75.
I used to tell my students that it represents the victory of the good racists over the bad racists--and that the world was much improved thereby.

VJ Day, likewise
Sooo much better than a cat video, thanks! "Sweet Dreams" is in English...
The HORROR!! The horror...
Does anyone know how to pull just the video without it being tied to Twitter? I want to post it to my Italian niece's Facebook page with no accompanying title or comments.
Brattiness -- not that there's anything wrong with that.
That's the funniest thing I've seen in days. As good as the little Irish girl arguing to be allowed to go to the pub.
I'm imagining her riding along with that 5-year-old kid who was driving his parents' car down some highway in Utah, giving him directions. Prendi la prossima uscita, idiota!
when she-a grow oppa:
Rodia Comedy
According to the Twitter comments, she is complaining about not being able to go outside and play, and not being able to nap in her stroller because of all the noise (siblings?) in the house, and says that the whole thing is giving her a headache. I loved it!
Unfortunately, my ethnicity is German-Irish-Yankee. I can hardly use my hands at all. Other than liking beer, I don't know what worthwhile traits I've inherited.
Translation: Tigger and Eryore ratted to the Feds about the honey skim. Pooh says they gotta be whacked and whacked hard as an example to the crew. But then he's not a wartime consigliere.
Was Myron Cohen or Totie Fields antisemitic? Gotta make shit up to stay on the bleeding edge lest there be an outrage gap developing.
Someone will show her that when she's 16 and she'll be mortified.
Having been told that I'm inherently, irredeemably, irrevocably, even unconsciously a racist, and having been told that this is true solely because of my skin color, I have come to doubt that the word racist means what some people think it means. One could eliminate 95% of actual racism in the US today if the government and academia stopped all notice of skin color.
And unless the darling girl is speaking vile things about people of different skin colors, her use of stereotypical Italian hand gestures while speaking has less to do with race and racism, than about a close and loving family life from birth.
