I can't decide if this is rude, dumb, racist or all of the above.

I'm going with all of the above.

I am going to remove the post though I don't want anyone to be offended or find it as a way to justify their racism

Actually, hand gestures act in langage the way emoji acts in writing. They accentuate what is said, but can also convey a proper meaning that would ADD to the speech.

So, yes, in a public space with lots of noise, hand gestures are helpful.

But you are right that OP's comment on Italians as a whole made me grind my teeth.
