    Tell me more about that Nordic heritage where you sit around and sing translated Neapolitan folk songs.

    We’re all connected.

      She wasn’t Neapolitan, she was from even further south. She was a Sicilian. St. Lucy of Syracuse. If her skin was Nordic pale and her hair was blonde, I would be very surprised.

      In fact, if she didn’t have a significant amount of North African ancestry, I would be pretty damn surprised.

    The ingress displays perfectly how pathetic Orpo is. “Yeah uhh racism is like, bad and stuff, but I can’t make them angry or my government with a lot of racists in it would collapse and that would be bad for the stockholders!”
