I don't think Switzerland is "problematic" because they prioritize laws and policies that benefit the Swiss for ex. Same for iran etc. I don't see what the skin color or cultural diversity of the country really has to do with anything.
Italy has a range of physical features that would surprise a lot of Americans and most Americans would not bucket every fully-native-for-generations Italian as white based on appearance. (In addition to the other side, lots of people that most Americans would think look too northern European to be Italian.)
I think you are projecting American racism onto other places. (Not that these other places don't have their own racism.)
