A while back I was setting up a Facebook profile and had to put in a Captcha. To my surprise, the Captha displayed an anti-Italian phrase. It read, “vain Italians”
vain Italians
At first I thought I was reading it wrong, I mean Captchas are meant to be a bit hard to discern but I read it a few more times, took a screenshot for the record 
and typed in what I thought it read there and it took “vain italians” as the Captcha answer.
Was this coincidence? Perhaps…
Are Italians “the target of a systematic process of intimidation and manipulation” by those behind Facebook?
I guess we will never know, but I just think its a bit odd that out of the 170+- thousand words in the English language, those two would come up in the Captcha, in that order, “I” in Italians capitalized as if the Captcha knows its insulting an ethnicity…
