This is a rabbit hole. You probably didn't mean it this way, but:

> Any native American can help me understand the difference between making fun of Asians/Blacks/other groups and italo-americans?

You know what "native american" means in (American) English, don't you?

It’s just a phrase that has two meanings and is understood with context. It’s like saying we sanctioned Jesse for his behavior.

I understand this, but given the _context_ of the question it might be (deliberately) misunderstood.

That is not a rabbit hole, it's child's play.

To use your own words: I wrote native American and not Native American, didn't I? Do you know what "native" with a lowercase lettee means, don't you?

As a side note, an unrequested advice: As you said, you probably didn't mean it this way but you sound detestable.

Cheers and thank you.

Sorry. I did not mean to offend you, but your response clearly show that I did it somehow. Sorry again for any intended or unintended meaning that my comment could have conveyed to you.
