Black Italian minister Kyenge suffers banana insult
Italian politicians have reacted with anger after the country's first black minister had bananas thrown at her during a political rally.
Integration Minister Cecile Kyenge, who has suffered racial abuse in the past, dismissed the act as "a waste of food".
But Environment Minister Andrea Orlando said on Twitter he felt the "utmost indignation" over the incident.
Earlier this month an Italian senator apologised after saying Ms Kyenge reminded him of an orangutan.
Congolese-born Ms Kyenge was speaking at a Democratic Party (PD) rally in Cervia on Friday when an unidentified spectator threw bananas towards the stage, narrowly missing her.
Italian police say they are trying to find the culprit.
(continued, two sides to every story but perhaps not in this case?)

An "integration" minister from the Congo? I'm guessing some Italians don't want people from the Congo integrated into Italy.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I suspect so. My understanding of Mediterranean Europe is that it's a pretty racist area.Tyrannical wrote:An "integration" minister from the Congo? I'm guessing some Italians don't want people from the Congo integrated into Italy.

In Italy the northerners tend to be racist towards the southerners, they're darker skinned, lazy etc (some truth in it, it's much hotter down south).
That's why the right wing are The Northern League.

When my sister divorced her first husband (Sicilian) and married her current husband (Neapolitan) my then girlfriend (Venetian) said "at least she's moving north".
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
