Apparently Samuel L. Jackson and Magic Johnson, when shopping in Italy some time ago were even stereotyped in prejudiced ways based on their appearance and assumed to be "immigrants".
Since at the time (or still is) there were controversies about immigration/refugees from regions like the Mid-east/Africa in Italy.
