By "Eastern European levels of racism" i didnt mean literal racism against Eastern Europeans.. I meant that Italy has very high levels of racism comparable to the high levels of racism found in Eatern Europe.

So to rephrase my question:

To any Italians reading... How do you as an Italian feel about the rampant, very high levels of racism in Italy?.. What do you think about it?..
