Sheriff Joe Arpaio Dismisses Racism Because He Doesn't Complain About Being Italian-American

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 4/10/2014 4:20 pm

Speaking with right-wing talk show host Joyce Kaufman today, notorious anti-immigrant Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said that there is a “double standard” on racism in America because while people talk about racism directed towards people of color, “no one seems to care” about racism directed against Italian-Americans like himself.

What sort of menus?

In fairness to Arpaio, Irish and Italians did face some pretty horrible discrimination when they first started coming here a long time ago -but . . . well, I don't think that's an issue today.
