@MrSloppy1991 Silvio is Italian, they are always very spontaneous, Italian people dont care, American propaganda, false moral or have in mind the American racial hypocrisy, Italian say what they think. Italian people is free mind and transparent people so for Silvio or Italian's call Obama tanned was nothing, the problem was in America where the racial hypocrisy is always a issue.

@MrSloppy1991 The funny part is must of American's agree with Silvio but if they show their opinion in public they become racist. In America if you have own opinion you are racist, anti semitic or ignorant. I just said Italy not have that problem, they says whatever they think.

I believe he shoudnt have made this comment but i do believe there was no ill intended.

Many dont know but Italians try very hard to get tanned (especially in the summer), for instance artificial tanning is the biggest cosmetic industry in Italy. In other words he was just telling a joke.

@MrSloppy1991 May my character analysis over american's not apply to minorities. However is difficult a fact become useless, especially fact's like Arizona immigration law or Tea party movement. If you really have a good idea what people think there you can understand what i said to you, cus you are living the racial issue in America. Obama is american right? Then ask yourself why Tea party call Obama and their followers anti-american and enemies of U.S?
