Which would make sense if those Italians were from the Aosta Valley, since food and other culture doesn’t stop hard at the border. But I’m betting they’re not.
As someone who moved downhill from there, yes, I’d agree. But things weren’t always like this, and when Americans say “Italian”, they really mean “someone whose great grand parents may have been Italian. At least some of them.”

Yeah them too. The fondue restaurants are not run by the Swiss, but the Italians.

They’d have to be nuts to leave that part of the world to live in the us.
