The Man Hunt - Italy

February 2010

The recent riots between Africans and locals in the Calabrian town of Rosarno have sparked nationwide outrage. Whilst some blame racism, the appalling exploitation of migrant workers and a mafia wage levy are likelier causes.
They are beasts. We have always helped them ... we do not want them here anymore One of the townspeople points at the destruction left in the wake of the riots. Whilst the rest of Italy is quick to brand the locals as racists, the migrants growing frustration with their low pay and poor living conditions is the actual source of discontent. To make matters worse, workers must hand in up to a quarter of their earnings to the local mafia head. Journalist Domenico Mammola also blames the lingering economic crisis: A huge problem is the dismal economic situation. For this reason you can no longer pay people properly. With the Mafia exploiting the situation to its advantage, it is unlikely to improve nor Rosarno to remain an isolated case.

I dont consider Italians racist for defending their country and those that say they are racist display how illogical and misinformed they are every time they speak this nonsense.

@MsZoneman you must be joking.... the Mafia accounts for like 6% of violent street crime in italy.

the other 96% of crime is from the roma gypsies, and north africans. lol

the Mafia actually tries to keep them in check. lol

im somalian...... but born in Tanzania.....i eventually moved to London as a child. Never i through to myself my fellow africans would be treated in such way. i am glad firstly im educated and living a great life, im bless to be British and afican and be able to go back to my homeland frequently .......the funny thing is i have respected italy in what they have done 4 somalia. but looking at this makes me realize how racist you Italians are.

Italians are somewhat racist, at least Italians don't hide it and very honest about their racism. I remember seeing Northern Italians hating Southern Italians, I lived Italy for 7 months and grandparents were Italians.
