Merge into List of Medal of Honor recipients. Typically wikipedia does not subdivide award-winners by their ethnicity, religion, or anything of the like. Intersections such as this are almost entirely trivia-based, of little encyclopedic value, or possibly purporting some type of agenda. A listing equivalent to WP:Overcategorization for narrow intersection, overlapping, and nn intersections by ethnicity. Divisions of award winners like this open up a can of worms that may become unmaintainable in the future. Bulldog123 04:03, 29 May 2007 (UTC) reply
Let's see: During World War II, Italians Americans were taken into custody and interned b/c of their ethnicity [1][ [2]]. In addition, as it states at Italian_American#History_2, In the 1890-1920 period Italian Americans were often stereotyped as being "violent" and "controlled by the Mafia". [3] In the 1920s, many Americans used the Sacco and Vanzetti trial, in which two Italian anarchists were sentenced to death, to denounce Italian immigrants as anarchists and criminals. During the 1800s and early 20th century, Italian Americans were the one of the most likely groups to be lynched. In 1891, eleven Italian immigrants in New Orleans were lynched due to their ethnicity and the suspicion of Italians being involved in the Mafia. This was the largest mass lynching in US history. Sounds like Italian Americans were discriminated against, to say the least.-- Alabamaboy 01:30, 3 June 2007 (UTC) reply
