I understand that Americans initially hated Italians because they brought the Mafia and organized crime with them, which is a very bad first impression, but what about Australians? Was it because of World War II and the fact that Italians were basically the enemy?

Wogs were just the first step on the slippery slope to importing an actual pitch black coon problem.

We don't. It's a gay larp nigga that people half did as a joke 20 years ago. When people say they hate wogs now they aren't saying Italians or Greeks they are saying Lebs or other assorted muslims.

Giannopoulos is the comedian in the pictures. He made a career out of playing up outdated wog stereotypes.

Australia had until recently and arguably still a very small town conservative mindset, this is a pretty important factor. Socially, Australia is pretty conservative and insular and "nail that sticks out gets hammered down" compared to the rest of the Western world.
Australia also had pretty low immigration until the 2010s with "Small Australia" being the norm, this meant the minorities were overwhelmingly just Chinese/Vietnamese and various flavours of meds. When I lived in Australia in the 1990s and 2000s, I would go a year not seeing a single indian or african easily and 99% of people I saw being white. In my entire school, there was like 10 Asians, not a single black kid, no indians or anything, there was ONE actual arab muslim kid. (Lebs aren't considered arab in Australia, but Med along with Greeks and Italians).
So when you are in a situation where 99% of people are white, but Australians are also fucking snitchy, cliquey small town conservative assholes, the bullying becomes about small differences.
"Wogs" are bad because they were tanned, and had their own greasy subculture and spoke italian to their parents or whatever, they weren't "anglo" that is why they were relentlessly mocked, it's the same with the Vietnamese and Chinese, literally model ethnic minorities who were perfect in every way a minority should be, but they were yellow and ate weird food so bad.
It wasn't only minorities as well, you dressed slightly alternative, enjoy being mocked into oblivion. Be a male with an IQ above room temperature and god forbid read a book during smoko? You're a fag. Don't worship NRL? You are a fag, literally be a good caring thoughtful boyfriend/husband to your girlfriend or wife and put your wife/gf over your bros in a single instance? you are literally the biggest fag homosexual imaginable.
This is the Australia I grew up in, and bailed in the mid 2010s.

100% right answer. Your thread is closed, OP.
Anyway where did you move to after Australia? I work in a Queensland cattle station myself and it's pretty rough trying to play the part when your coworkers, supposedly native English speakers, literally don't know the word "intuitive". I love it here, but fucking hell sometimes it really is beyond belief.

I sometimes think about what I could have amounted to had I been born in a European country like France or Germany where there is much less hostility to cultured and artistic types.

Australians hate italians because they're catholics and they were among the last immigration waves back when their italophobia peaked, once someone else came along they forgot there were no italians on the Duyfken just like they forgot they used to enslave irishmen when they were a penal colony.
The mafia shit is 100% hollywood memes, all ethnic minorities had their own organized crime, the mafia only stands out because it's a lot cooler than most, just like the yakuza.
