I don’t know how old you are but I remember very well the Italian-American clubs and Italians in general getting upset at how Italians were portrayed. The Untouchables was particularly offensive to a lot of Italians. I also remember my father who was first generation and born in 1913 telling me how he was excluded from a lot of jobs. But he never complained. He just worked harder.
My father...1920.
Maybe they took the brunt of the stereotype so it was harder on them.
i’m 47. I’m sure it was tough on first generation, but they never talked about it.
I felt a little bad when a few people called Cuomo a no good WOP when he died, lol.
But I call everybody everything when i get mad in the house :)
No one is left unscathed!!
excluded from jobs, huh? By whom, and why?
