Too bad the Boston Italians didn’t defend the
statue up there:

I don’t know much about Boston. Or Boston Italians :)
But not all Italians in different areas are alike.
Brooklyn/Staten Island...we’re the unrefined ones that haven’t moved to Westchester or Southern New Jersey and make believe we’re WASPs instead of WOPs :)
WASPs are great people and the backbone of this country.
But I get a kick out of Italians who move to new, perhaps more upper crust areas or get higher status careers and forget their roots.
A Columbus statue in Southern NJ wouldn’t stand a chance.
One on Staten Island...try to destroy it and there’s a good chance there would be antifa and blm bodies all around on the ground
And we don’t have one. I need to look into getting one built and placed here.
I’m assuming that’s the same for all groups though.
It depends on the area they live in and upbringing.
Anyway, i’m the only one in my family of my generation that is still on staten island.
My mother says I never made the leap to “upper class”
Im good with that
