Guido Beach

Posted by Chris Spags on June 1st, 2009 at 1:00 pm

In this video we take a look a documentary-esque look at the elusive “Guido” and, well, it’s a pretty embarrassing time to be an American with Italian ancestry.

So who’s the one to blame for this? At what point did the representation of Italian people go from a pizza man with a monkey with an organ to a mobster to some orange goblin with electric shocked hair? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I hate racism as much as anyone, as evidenced by how open-minded I am when I pour Aunt Jemima’s syrup onto my pancakes. But I have to point out that I don’t think I’ve ever seen an orange-tanned person with an Italian name as a doctor or a lawyer or a knight or really in any career that requires any type of talent. But man, if there’s ever a company that needs a VP of Getting Drunk and Bopping Around to Techno Music, well, prepare for some social mobility.
