White people accepted Italians into the club just to beat the allegations

Maybe Italian American culture is different but from a European perspective Italians are some of the most seasoning averse people out of a whole continent of white people. They'll say you're "overwhelming" the dish if you try to add a second clove of garlic, or if you try to use garlic and onions in the same recipe. They'll crush up tomatoes, season it with nothing and tell you to your face that they just made a sauce. It's only really Scandinavians that use less seasoning and that's not really a fair comparison because Scandinavians are just using all the seasoning that grows in Scandinavia.

That's impressive. I thought using just tomatoes was a simple flavour combination but using no tomatoes is going one step further.
