Technically the auto-suggestions are not stereotypes since they are not anybody's opinion - they are only what people are searching for.

And that makes me wonder why the first two searches for "italians are" are:

-italians are jews

-italians are not white

for the first search, according to a couple of articles i've found, there were in 2003 less than 50k jews in italy (of 60mil of inhabitants), so a very small part

for the second one, i dont know how to interpret it, maybe black people?

It might refer to the true romance scene about the sicilians:
