Would you mind telling me why you are offended by this?

“If” an Italian was, and told you, you’d explain to him he isn’t really offended, like you’re doing now. Because that’s what you are doing after an Italian told you to knock this shit out.

Because it plays on harmful stereotypes.
How is this even a question?

Just how is “I cooka da meatball” harmful?

It kinda contributes to the derogatory stereotypes that are already quite widespread in certain cultures about Italians, i.e., uneducated people who can’t speak a language and talk like super mario and whose life is basically about food.

I’m pretty sure any reasonable Italian would just ignore it and move on.

Or they would cooka da meatball and move on

Which is what I do 99% of the time.
Not this time. This time I soak my piece.
Also, your “if you complain about prejudice you are not reasonable” is not appreciated. It’s straight up abuser talk.

I’m pretty sure @Tyfud cleared up “prejudice” for you pretty nicely.

Actually did not. But that’s another matter. Abuser.
