The Swiss campaign against Italian immigrants makes us reflect – or at least it should make us reflect.
By labeling as rats the tilers from Verbania, the lawyers from Lombardy, and the Romanians who reside in Italy, this campaign denounces the assault of 45 thousand Italians who “steal Swiss jobs”.
Many in Switzerland have been criticizing the opening of the borders for years, much in the same way as our very own Lega. The only difference is that this time we are on the wrong side, on the same boat as the usual Romanians.
Experiencing this kind of discrimination first-hand, understanding what it means to be considered rats stealing Swiss cheese and jobs, hopefully will teach our fellow Italians how counterproductive the current racist path actually is.
