The article I found describes how Italy now has a increase in racist driven crimes. The amount of crime has become so troubling that the Italian president and the pope recently met to discuss how to prevent future incidents. A reason this troubling behavior could be happening is that the percentage of immigrants in Italy rose 17% last year. The problem is that the native Italians aren’t used to having so many immigrants and obviously aren’t used to treating them as they should be treated. There is even a bill passing through the Italian Congress calling for greater immigration controls. Obviously Italy is not ready to become a multi-ethnic society.
