Se l’italiano è razzista, cos’è l’America profonda e la polizia americana dal Texas alla Florida al Kansas ? Un sacco di luoghi comuni poi in realtà qualità della vita italiana ottima, vengono tutti qui, dall umbria alla Lucania alla bassa emiliana al Friuli si vive da dio, mare e monti ,treni ,sanità, a prezzi accessibili, vengono in Italia e non hanno la più pallida idea di come giri la baracca

I'm sorry for your experiences, and I don't know if you have a clear idea but anyway it's better not to generalise, thank you 🤗

Homest video but the title is wrong. It should have been " why I hate living in Rome". Reality is quite different in most of other italian towns. With all due respect, your generalisations are simplistic and , ultimatly, wrong. Concerning the rudeness, Romans are known for being rude with everybody, including among themselves. But it is a particular kind of rudeness. I was shocked the first time I went to Rome, but I quickly understood that , in fact Romans like to make fun of people, which can be offensive of course. For instance, I was not sure about my transport ticket and I asked the bus driver if , with that ticket, I could visit Rome the all day. The bus driver answered: " se non c'hai un cazzo da fa" which means : " if you do not have anything else to do". I found the answer funny and brilliant, but of course other people could have had a different reaction. Concerning your statements that Italians are racist and mysoginistic , I would say they are as true as the ones according to which Americans are dumb and ignorant. There is some truth, but they are generalisations. And, again, Rome is extremely right wing and it is full of poor recent immigrants.It is not easy to integrate them. You have an afroamerican community since 400 years and it is still not fully integrated according to the statistics about income, crime,life expectancy, etc. . Concerning mysoginy, ask few italian women about that. In a relationship or a marriage, they will answer they are definitly the boss. Please do not take my comment as offensive. Your take about all the other aspects are spot on. I simply invite you to travel more in Italy. Come to Tuscany for instance. Or go to Sicily. I am sure you will have a different experience. And you will love it. You are a beauty btw.

Interesting that you say tourists are terrible but then complain that Italians are rude - could be connected?? New Yorkers are pretty rude too - could be all the tourists?? Transportation & Cost of living - have you lived anywhere but Rome? Rome is known to be expensive.

We are not rude, we are sincere: we do not make gratuitous smiles and then cut your clothes on you as soon as you turn away, but I understand that it is a matter of preference: many prefer to be fooled by false kind ways ...

without any malice towards you, but let me tell you that it sounds strange to hear an American call public transport in any other country disgusting, if we consider that the American one is the most disgusting in the world and most of the time non-existent., It's a bit paradoxical, don't you think?

Why don't you move?

Hi i had applied for foundation year program but still waiting for interview from the university amrican romania university

Frank and succinct, saying it as you see it. Italy doesn't deserve a pleasant young person like yourself. (The majority of Italian voters cast their ballot for the neo-fascist government, if that doesn't say it all)

Why are you moving then? You have legs, a passport...you can go somewhere else

If the things you say are true, why do you live in Rome? Why do you undergo these disorganised, rude, misogynistic, racist and unpleasant people?

My grandparents were Italian. My grandfather was sooooo racist, even when living in Toronto. It came from his original cukture. I’ve been to Italy many times… they are racist! Simple. Regarding the privaledge of living somewhere… honestly … why do Americans or Canadians feel like they need to soften this feeling of living in a foreign country… it’s so weird. Like when their communities from around the world move to out countries… do they try and integrate? lol. They go to where their communities are and build their life with others that are the same as them typically. I say… just do you. Walk proudly through any country you are in… do what you want the same as they do when coming to our countries.. and just be you! Straight and simple. Who cares what anyone else thinks. If they are looking at you… or rude to you be rude back if that’s what you feel. If they look at me when I walk.. I walk proudly… and confidently… and spin around for them so they can look some more, I speak to them, they speak back. It’s all about conference in a different country. I have gotten into countless arguments and disagreements with people in Italy, and had also great conversations and a lot of love…in the end… honestly… just do you.. don’t try to fit in. I think when one tries to fit in this is where the issue is. If you do you and don’t try to fit in with confidence… I think they are curious about that… and soften. lol it’s reverse psychology.

They can’t even crack a smile when passing by and they act like you don't exist.

I thought I was the only one. And I thought it was possibly because I am not white. But this confirms it. They are just rude, unfriendly people. I never want to come back here. All of the reviews and videos online I saw of people talking about Italy's supposed "amazing" people and food, really has me baffled.

are you still here in Italy ?

the public transport sucks in south and center italy, not everywhere...in Rome, yes, it sucks. total nightmare

naturasi is so expensive

Good to know! I’m moving to Milano next Wednesday so these things are good to think about beforehand. I mean my girlfriend lives in Italy already as an immigrant from a poor country and experiences racism and misogyny but I find it very helpful to hear from more people as well the things she’s said. I hope to find the best experiences of my life in this next chapter so I hope my exposure to this reality of Italy is not as prevalent as the problems I’m leaving behind in America. I know every place has it’s flaws, I just am like you said if I’m going to struggle, I would like to struggle where I can enjoy life more. Hopefully I find Italy to be more of an enjoyable place to live in comparison to America where I fear gun violence, the police, car accidents, bankruptcy, endless poverty, watching my life pass me working, working my body physically until I need medical attention, etc. I mean I’m privileged because I’m white and cis but being a gay woman in America is becoming more and more scary on top of the adversity every American already faces. Though I haven’t faced outward homophobia in some years, as laws change every year stripping us of protections in healthcare, education, and general legal protections I fear it empowers homophobic people to hate louder. I know that not everyone will understand why America for a gay white woman is scary or a threat to my success/fulfillment, but I hope if you do read this you can understand my moving to Italy is me trying to make a better life for myself. Anyways, that was truly long winded. Peace to you all ✨

Your videos in Rome are so much fun

As someone who has been living abroad for over half my life now I feel this deeply. I still have pangs of homesickness 25 years on, it hits at random moments now, no longer predictable. Change is inevitable, I think travel reduces the pain and makes it acceptable. Thank you for sharing.

I recently just got back from Italy and I was shocked. I had these certain expectations from what others have told me and none of them were true. What you are saying is correct. Italians do not like Americans. I got the cold shoulder from many Italians. I thought it was in my head, but no. The only people I found who were nice in Italy were the Americans lol. Yes, there is trash everywhere and the Amalfi coast is over crowded, over priced and the people are extremely rude and self centered. I will never go back.

me between the ages of 9 and 18 months: gonna be doing a lot more of this because i just found out about walking

What camera and mic are you using the quality it top 😊

Love them shoes.

Club Cutesy 🤓

Love polyglot Jason and flirty Daisy! 🤩 (Did we hear a good morning? 🤗)

So here for the flirtatious energy Daisy is giving off in this video 😮

I want Jason's number! 🙋‍♀️

This video is giving very French vibes and I'm here for it

Merci jason

WOW

i think the probls you’re pointing out are real but much more specific to rome and don’t represent the rest of italy

❤❤❤❤❤

The sound design on this one was impeccable, brava👏 Next, to EUR!

That first dangerous scene when you make your way through the impossible obstacles!! You really know how to hook an audience! #Indianajones

So many things I've missed in your hiatus!!

6:31 so curious to know more about why Cesar was killed. Can anyone explain? Thank you🙏

Chow tutti!!!

love the new walking shoes

i missed you guys so much

finally

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and well-presented. Your time and effort is most appreciated!

Italians are racist and rude SOMETIMES.... you don't say, I am shocked. Italy is really a developing country to be honest with a huge ego.

Natura si have good biologic product, but it is more expensive the other supermarket

Why do u talk like ur on anesthesia and dress like my grandma 😂

The racism you speak of is mostly anger from Italians toward their government for not taking control of illegal migration from n. africa... i'd say the Italians have a good reason to be pissed and that is regardless of what skin color the illegal migranst are.

Hoping my comment will age well, you can see from the comments that Italians are not rude and actually agree with you on many of your points :) I would like to say a few things in our defence: sometimes you may think someone is being rude while it's just a matter of language barrier. Italy is not just Rome, each city and region is going to be different, so maybe this video should be about Romans you've met ahah! Rude Italians are as rude with other Italians as well, it's not because of racism. Yes, some Italians are racist but most are not: consider how many are not, how many left Italy, how many resources and people we employ to literally save the lives of a continuous stream of migrants coming our way (more than any other country probably), and this is also why some Italians are racist, they are mostly angry and ignorant. While America built a wall, I wouldn't say America as a society is racist, and by the way I believe there are countries in Europe that are far more racist than Italy. Also, during the 90's and early 2000's we had people coming from the balkans and most of them are living and working in Italy. Today we have lots of problems ourselves with the quality of life and job situation, and that's obviously going to be the same for migrants coming here, so it's pretty much impossible to help them more than we are already doing. Regarding food, Rome is full of other types of cuisines so I'm not sure why you felt like that, but certainly is not as full as other countries (which is both good and bad), and outside of the main cities it's sooo much worse! I struggle so much with that, in my region it's impossible to find Indian and Vietnamese food, which is totally normal in other countries. Regarding misogyny, our current president is a woman and I wouldn't say we are more misogynistic than others, but I can definitely see that at times, in the end I think it also depends, and our MAMMA's are our whole world! :D Cost of living and low salaries, that's true everywhere in Italy. Public transportation? We hate it! In conclusion, I'm sorry for your experience and I hope you will also visit the rest of Italy! I always say, if you know a couple of Italian words and come here for vacation, amazing! Living here is a totally different story and I can definitely see myself living elsewhere. Regarding your video, thank you and I appreciate your respect and everyone should be free to talk politely and objectively of their own experiences! Edit: it didn't age well, I'm reading some ignorant Italian comments. Sad.

Could you make a video for places for organic shopping

Qualcuno aveva voglia di qualche like... Non mi vergogno assolutamente di dire che questo video è pieno di cagate formidabili. E me ne strasbatto completamente di chi verrà a dirmi che sono solo il classico italiano risentito. Io in un posto che non mi piace NON CI VIVO, meno che mai se non è nemmeno il posto in cui sono nato. It's just as simple as that.
