As a consequence it's relatively rare, even for a racist, to think of italians as black. Whiteness was important to italians, and italian whiteness was important to racists, especially after the civil rights movement.
I think it may be more the case of Italians and the right wing having something in common: organized crime is not a deal breaker.
