Perhaps it is jealousy - of your food and your climate and your countryside, and the rather attractive people you have wandering around your town squares. I have a friend who lives in Tuscany, so I am lucky enough to pop over quite often. Last month I had I think the single best meal of my entire life there. And travelling through Pisa - lovely - a great chilled-out town with really friendly people. People have good reason to be envious

Take a look at the definition:a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.Did he mention anything about he was superior or wish to rule over Italians? Get the F*** over it. He clearly states he doesn't ship to Italy in his auction, probably because your shitty postal service has screwed him in the past. Move on to a different auction and seller if you are so "offended." By the way, there isn't anything that states in any doument, manuscript, or otherwise that it is against any rule, law or organization that you have the right not to be offended. Give me a break.....racist. Perhaps you should right to Nelson Mandela to see if he thinks this would fit under the category of racism.Perhaps his judgement is prejudice against Italy's postal service. Here is the definition for prejudice in case you need it also:1. an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. 2. any preconceived opinion or feeling, either favorable or unfavorable. 3. unreasonable feelings, opinions, or attitudes, esp. of a hostile nature, regarding a racial, religious, or national group.Sorry for the rant, but living in the southeast US, racism is a term that is too loosely thrown around for the matter of convenience for those who have had their feelings hurt. I'm off my soapbox now.

Under their agreements at the time Canada Post had to take him back.And that is why valuable packages tend to disappear in Canada.
