It's okay to be racist against Italians.

What the pineapple. It was an homage to the way Italians traditionally prepare food, as noted "...with a little more passion." It was a (racial) compliment, and a good one at that, because Italian cuisine is fantastic.

Also, soul food is good. Don't trust anyone who dislikes a good fried chicken leg or some collard greens.

ALSO, no, you're not dead serious about this.
