Letter - Francesca De Cesari

I must say that after reading Paul Carney's letter, I feel happy and

proud not to be an American. I got sick in the stomach.

I am from Italy and have lived in Los Angeles for three years. His

letter just proved the opinion I got of America during the period I spent

here. America isn't the great country Americans think it is. Its people

are uneducated and often racist.

What he wrote about the Armenian Genocide is an insult to people's

rights. I wonder what would happen if he wrote the same things about

other numerous races that make this country.

I sent his comments to Italy and many other European countries to

demonstrate that what they think about America it is not far from the

truth: Americans are racist.

To the Americans who do not know, Italy and France have already

recognized the Armenian Genocide.
