Jersey Shore guidettes Snooki and JWoWW aren’t Italian. MTV has touted their Jersey Shore vehicle as an inside look into the summer Jersey Shore lives of Italian Americans. The cast member played along, even offending Italian American interst groups who said the cast were an embarrassment to the ethnicity.

more Snooki and JWoWW after the hop…

As it turns out Snooki and JWoWW aren’t even Italian. According to Fox411.com:

“But in an appearance on FoxNews.com’s hit Web show, “The Strategy Room,” Jenni “JWOWW” Farley revealed that she and some of the other cast members are not actually Italian! Farley herself is “Spanish and Irish,” while castmate Snooki is actually Chilean. We’ll give you a moment to reflect on that. The self-proclaimed “guidette princess” from Poughkeepsie is not Italian!”

Hm. Well. The last name “Farley” should have been an appropriate tip-off. What do you think? Does this make you think differently about The Jersey Shore?
