Comedian Anthony Locascio is back to chat with us in this episode. Anthony is a well known and very talented Australian comedian with Italian and Greek heritage, our listeners will remember the chat we had with Anthony last year Episode 62: Are Greeks and Italians the same? Featuring Anthony Locascio - The Italian Australian Podcast | Podcast on SpotifyIt was great to chat with him again and hear about what he has been up to, especially his recent time performing in Canada and the USA. This time Anthony is back with us for a chat about how Italian immigrants were viewed in terms of race. Looking back in time, the cultural landscape of Australia was very different than in present times. The White Australia Policy was in effect during the post war era when many Italians were immigrating to Australia. There was a lot to discuss and was worthy of a long chat so this episode is Part 1, be sure to listen in next week for Part 2.
