Does this exist in English?
In Spanish, when we make a repetition like this: "Hay italianos e italianos" ("There are Italians and Italians") we mean that not every Italian is equal, but that it is necessary to make distinctions within the group. Is there any similar way to say this in English?
I hope that I have explained myself properly.
Thanks!

That is something that is more easily understood when spoken because you can emphasize certain words.
To make the distinction easier to pick up on in writing you can add “and then there are”...
Ex: there are Italians, and then there are ITALIANS
(The capitalization is where we would verbally emphasize by changing tone, speed, or volume)

Yes. You can use exactly the same construction. There are italki users and italki users :)

That could be an option, thanks!

I have no idea... maybe saying something along the lines of, “not everyone is cut from the same thread”
