I as someone that is 25% Italian and 25% Maltese (the other half I'm not sure), I feel super marginalized (Maltese people alone are a marginalized community in the US since they are so rare (I think the most Maltese community in the US is only 2% Maltese) and I think I need my own separate safe spaces for people exactly 25% Italian and 25% Maltese who aren't sure about their other half.
My great grandparents moved here to integrate and learn English and now Irrid nitkellem biss bil-Malti. Il-kultura tiegħi qed tiffaċċja oppressjoni!
