So you're Italian, right? Because I wouldnt' think that, say, a German or Irish or French or British (etc.) guy could necessarily relate to an Italian guy. Or does white skin just wipe out any distinctions between national origin? I'm white, but I don't pretend to "identify" with everyone else who shares my level of melatonin.
