Can you notice that it’s a bit leaning to the right?
American in Italy here! I am not justifying this, just explaining it from an Italian perspective. First, the paper is not mixing up her Indian heritage here with Native American. They took the idea that she is seeking a white male VP running mate and wrote “hunting for a white man”, which conjured up a “funny” homage to native Americans in spaghetti westerns, while giving a nod and a wink to the racism inherent in making the VP pick race-based. Second, this paper is a sensationalist rag sold in grocery store checkout lanes, with no expectation for the stories to be good, or free of any number of unsavory isms.

ah, that explains it.

Yes, this about covers it (correctly).
And it is pointing at racism (it’s no secret the “had” to get a white male of certain age).
Also I think the Indian part was used just because of that additional funny coincidence. It’s not not funny, but far from good. … tho thinking about it now - using the same joke by having Adolfy depicted as Crocodile Dundee, while still not lol funny, does seem kinda funny.
To be fair the Italians have a 500+ year history of mixing up Indigenous Americans and Indians.
It’s tradition!
Europeans mistaking Americans for Indians for centuries.
Specifically Italians, at that.
Classic Italian mistake.
It’s even worse if you consider that it’s still offensive to Photoshop that on her even if she was Native American.
Perhaps they could remove some clothing and make her very muscular
But the body is old white dude - gotta keep the racist theme going.
American history be like:
Fucking Italians man…
I prefer Italian women, but you know … when on a road leading to Rome (but walking in the opposite direction for obvious reasons), one has to keep an open mind.
Well, at least it’s casual racism, not professional racism.
Oh, it’s a newspaper, so a bit professional I guess, but like they didn’t use their “best” racists./s
Also who are the white folk they are referring to?
The other dude in the race is clearly orange (of some rapey citrus heritage). And the “catching” part, well, statistically speaking as DA she prob didn’t do that much of that color either.Everything around this is multilevel horribly resist, and yet the reality is several parallel universes ahead.
The “hunt” for the white man refers to her search for a white guy as a vice-president that can appeal to the “wasp” population. It’s a reference to western movies. The article is fully on her search for a vice-president and the “real” motivations for her choice.
Yes, thx, I know, along with other inaccuracies it’s for the art of shit & giggles.
WTF?
Is that Elizabeth Warren?
You don’t even need to guess it based on whatever USA they posted at the centre. Just look at Giorgia Merdoni at the left.
You’re offended that a foreign xenophobic tabloid did not accurately depict her indian heritage in a goddamn caricature? Come on man, live and let live.
