Will there ever be an Italian-American President?

[Higgins]

Thoughts?

I ask because while it isn't as significant as say, the first gay President, or the first female President, or something like that - as an Italian-American male it'd be nice to say "this was our President." The only Catholic got a bullet in his brain. I know Italian-American Catholics are not a minority in the sense of actual minorities - but, it still would be nice to see one day. Most Italians are stereotyped as being like Jersey Shore esque buffoons and Italian-American culture is stereotyped highly negatively. It'd be nice to have an eloquent leader to displace those stereotypes.

Will it ever happen?

There is never going to be a white president of a specific ethnicity ever again, because that isn't how the white American gene pool works anymore. We're all mixed up.

Was Donald Trump "the first italian-american president" in the same way that Bill Clinton was "the first black president?"

It's why I joking said that Trump was a Cultural Catholic person.

This, but a President with an Italian last name or who's "closest to the Italian side of [his/her] family" (which I am myself, so I'm not saying it snidely) is totally possible.

This is actually hilariously accurate (have friends from Macomb County and of those demographics).

Probably not any time soon. I don't think DeSantis is presidential timber. Cuomo seems well beyond done. I don't think we will ever get a President who is identifiably Italian-American like Scalia and Alito.

Glad this thread is (so far) less blatantly offensive than the last one on this topic.

[President Johnson]

Hopefully Andrew Cuomo, but I doubt he'll ever run.

LOL. Totally false. I would never betray my gene pool like that. Imagine intentionally disgracing everything your ancestors lived for.

As an Italian American, having a president I can ethnically align with would make my day.

Identity politics are racist.

Okay...

Okay...

That's not identity politics though...

How do you get any more identity politics than wanting a president you can "ethnically align" with?

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

We already elected President Berlusconi in 2016.

That doesn't influence my vote or decision though. However it would be pretty cool.

Lucky for you, the studies I can think of found that cousin marriage doesn’t cause as many birth defects as what is popularly expected.

I would vote for a President DelVecchio (RI-D)

Umm Trump, did not have weird parties with weird people

That's just because Trump doesn't have friends.

Well, then he's not Silvio Berlusconi, and he did not name his party "Forward America"

Not only is the account extremely relatable, it basically has the same profile picture as mine... Eerie.
