Maybe the social meaning of ethnicity is really relative to the racist empires they're situated in and not on some sort of inherent value

yea, its because the Italians (and Irish, Chinese, etc as well) generally came to America later and were poorer than the British/French/Germans etc were, so they were often discriminated against (plus the mafia thing, but that also generally comes from being poorer)
