TIL the term "Spaghetti Western" refers to Western films made in Europe. It's called such because most of these films were directed by Italians.(en.wikipedia.org)

Lemmy’s usually hyperactive “but that’s racist!!!” crowd is remarkably silent when the target is Italians.

Italians are white and you can’t be racist against white people.

Are any Italians bothered by the term? I mean real Italians, not random voices on twitter clambering over each other for a little bit of attention.
