Do you think we italians are white?

There are Italians of all colours. Are you American rather than Italian OP? Many Americans seem to want to put everybody in a racial category or other based on skin colour, particularly if the colour can be called white or black. (a legacy of long-lived segragation based on European human immigrants buying and selling African human slaves I suppose)
The rest of the world does not generally do this!
If you slowly walk from the top of Europe to the south of Africa there are no sudden genetic changes labeled 'race'. It's a man-made construct.

Nobody gives a shit

There's rampant racism in Italy, I have beem observing that for quite a while. Skin tone do not make anyone superior to other people.

your life can finally be completed once you know what strangers on the internet define your skin color

Italians are Caucasians!

Depends who you ask. Mediterranean people in general are among those odd intermediate skintone ethnicities, where it's all subjective. "White" is a subjective term anyway and skintone is a gradient geographically. Where do you draw a line on the world map, where indigenous people North of that line are "white" and people South aren't? It's opinion. I've heard extremes ranging from some people who don't even consider French people white, to people who do consider Arabs and Iranians white.

My Dad's family are from neighbouring Malta originally. They self-identify as white and so do I (would be silly if I didn't, I came out REALLY white like my British mother).

Since my grandparents came to The UK they have always been considered white here (if a little exotic-looking). However, I also have relatives who moved to Australia and were "wogs" upon arrival. So again it depends.

As for Italians... well if we're white, so are you. To most people these days "indigenous European = white", and Italians are European, so they would be considered white by most people.

PS in my opinion Daniele Adani still has the look of a European. His features are relatively dark yes, but not to where I'd say he looked like an Arab or African.

Italia describes a peninsula and a country, not a people.

"The name Italia originally applied only to a part of what is now Southern Italy – according to Antiochus of Syracuse, the southern portion of the Bruttium peninsula (modern Calabria: province of Reggio, and part of the provinces of Catanzaro and Vibo Valentia). But by his time Oenotria and Italy had become synonymous, and the name also applied to most of Lucania as well. The Greeks gradually came to apply the name "Italia" to a larger region, but it was during the reign of Emperor Augustus (end of the 1st century BC) that the term was expanded to cover the entire peninsula until the Alps." -Wikipedia

The term 'Italia' was derived from a Hellenic (Greek) people who had inhabited some of the southern parts of the peninsula.

There is a wide variety of modern peoples (please note the plural) who inhabit the Italian peninsula today, because of their prehistoric and ancient ancestry, from various different European peoples, and admixtures thereof.

The problem is that "white" is a modern label used to compare the whole world to Europe, and it does not account really well for all the racial diversity that already existed and exists in Europe both today and at the fall of the Western Empire. So, as far this label is worth (and it's not worth that much), I would say yes, Italians have to be white, since they are a Romance people of Europe, and the label is generally used to compare traditional Europeans to peoples from other backgrounds. However, traditional Italians generally present more variety in skin color than most Germanic peoples.

During the times of the Empire, there was a lot of racial variety both within the original component peoples and between the peoples themselves, and miscigenation became more common as requirements for citizenship and intermarriage became more general, adding to this diversity even more. The few pantings that have survived from Rome present a lot of different phenotypes, ranging from pale white to white to salmon to yellowish to bronze to brown, with all types of hair color. Black skin was more uncommon, since the Romans had less contact with Subsaharan Africa, but, especially in the sense of Eastern Africans (Nubians and Ethipians), were also sometimes present, even though Nubia was not part of the empire, despite some contact between both regions.

I think these examples are generally quite representative of the variety we can see today in Italy. There are less darker phenotypes, since contact with Egypt and the rest of Africa and the Eastern empire was eventually lost to a great extent, producing less diversity, and even the ones that were more common in the Italian heartland were with time miscigenated with Germanic invaders, becoming closer to that of Germanic countries to some extent. However, there is still a lot of diversity, and it's not easy to simply group all of Europe (or Italy) within the same racial label.

Where do you live. If you live in the US your American. If you live in Italy then your Italian. Why do we still feel the need to separate ourselves by color.

Italians from the mountains of Northern Italy, like Milan and Turin are actually of German descent.

I vaguely recall watching some American mafia film where one of the mobsters goads an Italian-American guy into violence by telling him that Italians came from Africa, and so they are all black.

I'm sure there are a few overt British racists who crudely divide the peoples of the world into white Northern Europeans, Asians, and Blacks. They may put Italians (and people from other Mediterranean countries) in the "Black" category.

Hell, there are some idiots who can cope with only two categories: "white" (meaning Northern European) and "everybody else".

I suppose most intelligent, educated Brits would consider Italians "white" if forced to put them in one of those three categories, but then intelligent, educated people don't see the world in such crude terms. Although "Asian" is a generally accepted concept, most Brits know there are Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Thais, and so on in that group, and they are not all the same.

Some Brits with an unsophisticated view of the world will consider Italians "Europeans", and lump them with the Germans, French, Poles, and Dutch. But I believe most British people consider Italians one of the Mediterranean peoples, and so, taken as a national group, they'd consider them similar to the Spanish, Portuguese, and Greeks. In other words, they aren't "white", since that's generally seen as meaning Northern European, but something else.

Many Italians have integrated into Britain over the centuries, and I'm sure most Brits would consider them to be "white".

I'm also sure most Brits would look at someone similar to Claudio Marchisio or Ignazio Abate and consider them "white", although some might see Mediterranean characteristics in their appearance.

Only an Italophile Brit would understand there is a difference between someone whose ancestors all lived in the Veneto and someone whose ancestry is exclusively Calabrian.

No Italians are not white. You are black.

Italians behave a lot like middle easterners or blacks, except they're easier to laugh at (goofiest stereotypes on the planet, absolutely ridiculous). So no, I would never categorize Italians as white.
