Sheesh! Like many ethnic groups, a large number of Italians pay lip service to assimilation, but for some reason enjoy living in neighborhhods amongst large groups of their own kind, speaking their native language, and eating their "authentic" ethnic food. Get over it already!
Yes, we Italians are taking over America HAHAHA. We will force bilingual education on you southerners and convert you to our religion (Christianity).
My grandparents came to America from Italy at the turn of the century and my family is not only assimilated and fluent in English, but most of them don't even speak Italian. We are university educated professionals and not members of any organized crime syndicate.
Your post is not only idiotic, it's insulting to a lot of good Americans of Italian ancestry. Crawl back into your trailer.
Italian neighborhoods where the denizens speak exclusively Italian are difficult to find. Even "Little Italy" in New York City is only one short street nowadays (Mulberry Street). Get a life.

Chinatown ate the rest.
Mulberry Street is just a put-on for tourists. However, I've been to Staten Island. Yikes! These are people who think "The Sopranos" is a documentary about the family next door.
