Racial discrimination continues to be an issue in both Italy and the U.S. today, though it manifests differently in each country. In Italy, there are fewer incidents of racial discrimination compared to the U.S., which has deep roots in slavery and civil rights struggles. However, negative media portrayals have influenced public opinion against immigrants from North Africa in Italy. In the entertainment industry, racial discrimination is more apparent in the U.S. through a lack of non-white celebrities and stereotypical portrayals of African Americans in music videos, while Italy's entertainment world shows no racial discrimination.
