In fact at this point, middle class would also be amazing. Alas I'm neither.
I am of some Italian Ancestry, depending on who you speak to. And trust me, Roman Catholics are no strangers to guilt. Even recovering ones.
It's interesting you mention whiteness in reference to Italians, we're relatively new at being white in America.
And my Italian relatives are often subject to Colorism, being from the south and thereby darker than the folks that hail from the northern part of the country.

White people are native Europeans. Therefore Italians are white.
There's also darker and lighter skinned black and asian folk than others. Why would white ppl be different on this matter? Why wouldn't there be variations among the white folk?
If Italians are not white than those people shouldn't make use of things the Romans invented... like I dunno words of latin origin in many languages? Also roads.
In the UK some polish people have been assaulted since Brexit, and they're stereotyped as being quite pale. Yet many Brits seem to hate them more than they hate blacks or indians.
In Southern Europe we think Germanics eat **** food and speak ugly languages.
See, I can play this game too!
