So much for being "guidette" princesses.
Jersey Shore star Jenni "JWoww" Farley, 23, admitted on Fox's Strategy Room Tuesday that she and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi aren't even Italian!
See what stars look like with Snooki's hair!
J-Woww says she's Spanish and Irish, while Snooki, 21, is Chilean.
The MTV reality show was slammed by Italian-American groups for perpetuating "negative stereotypes," UNICO National President Andre DiMino told Fox last year.

"If you replace Italian-Americans with any other ethnic group, would they use such a pejorative term to promote the show?" he fumed.
JWoww also shattered another Jersey Shore myth: The girls don't believe in GTL! (Which stands for gym, tan, laundry, the schedule made famous by co-star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino.)

Instead, they follow a SSC routine: sleeping, shopping and clubbing.

178Your all stupid, go to Italy yourselves and tell them what they are. While your trying to explain there skin pigmentation and giving them a history lesson on their origin they'll be laughing at you and robbing you.

History Lesson, In the Roman era the Romans conquered A an Iberian peninsula called Iberia. This land was populated by greeks, phonecians and celts. The romans over ran the place and called this the people of this land hispanics. These where for the most part of italian,greek,phenician celt mixture of peoples. Italians and Spanish are related by blood and culture. Spanish came from Italian. Why would a hispanic want to be something he.she already is. The term white means nothing. It is an dumb down american invention. Italians who are anglo or "white" are not native italians and in fact or foreigners from northern countries like germany that flodded the Mediterranean city of rome. Folks you have to read, history 101.
I would like to inform the people on post that Italians can consider themselves white if they want to but don't get mad and name call because other people notice that some of you are not white. Because it is a historical FACT that may Italians mixed with Africans and Arabs and Spaniard blood especially in the region of Sicily. This in fact makes many of you Mulattos but of course they would rather give the credit to OLIVES and say nasty things when people don't pretend not to notice. In my opinion, that's what makes you beautiful. You should be proud. I know I am.
I knew those tricks were not Italian especially Snooki and it's obvious that they don't believe in GTL because the house is nasty w/clothes all over the place so they aren't too big on L, and Snooki is fat so there goes the G and they are already kinda dark therefore they really don't need to focus the T either. Bottom line, they are hoochies who like Italian guys;but only the dumb ones. Who would be proud to have them represent them besides someone just as Dumb, Drunk, Wild and Nasty?!
If you know your history, you would know that italians are NOT white. &As far as what race they are, it is kindof messed up bcus they made it seem like they were all italian bcus of all the italian flags and "guido juicehead" talk. So yeah thats kindof fake, but whatever.. I still love the show so... fck it lol
@Tanya Wynn: Do not categorize "most hispanics" as wanting to be Italian. All of the hispanics I know (Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican [I am Puerto Rican 100%], Salvadorean, Honduran, Dominican, Guatemalan) are super proud of being hispanic, and have never mentioned wanting to "be Italian". Most of US hispanics ARE PROUD of being just that. I don't want to be Italian or any other nationality except for what I was born.
excuse me Tanya Wynn but I am mexican and I do not want to be italian! I love my race soo much! so don't talk!
i thought snooki was adopted
Thats not even right because they aren't italian and make us Italians look bad
Jwoww is constantly changing her race..when the first show came out she said she was polish..i guess saying your spanish and irish is better than saying your polish and irish..Ronni is not italian either..he changed his last name after the show..its ortiz period now its hyphenated italian..the only true italian is vinny..snooki wants to be italian so bad like most hispanics but she looks like a mexican..im not italian but if these people were portraying me and i was italian i would be mad. Italians in italy are different from italians in america anyway. way different.
oh my god I thought they were really from Italy that sucks that they aren't but its okay that they aren't because I still love the show and them they are just normal people like me and you so don't give them hate comments please.
this is the bs that pisses me off im 100 percent sicilian and loooking at thease 2 smutts who arent even remotely close to looking italian disgusts me the way they portrayed us is disgusting then not even to be italian makes it worse .they always associate us italians with mafioso big hair guidos and guidettesb they never talk about the good we have done in this country and it sickens me that this is allowed and is viewed as entertainment.i love my people and im proud to be a sicilian american and have zero tolerance for bull shh like this
Sorry but the whole discussion and the show itself are just ridiculous. First of all they are American, not Italian, just playing on the stereotype of bad taste italians, for those who think be italian is about the family well sorry, you are you are far away from the reality, as the son of americans born and raised in Spain or any other place could be considered american. I don´t know how someone could feel italian as if italian were a way of being. And last italians are white not a race itself.
I HATE JERSEY SHORE ITS SO DUMB
For every stupid tan italian comment.. ITALIANS ARE WHITE. I am part italian. I'm a complete white mix. WHITE being key.
I knew snookie was latin cuz shes soo short!! hhaaaa imposters lol
