Gangster vs Mobster

https://www.biography.com/crime/whitey-bulger


Whitey Bulger was a prominent figure in Boston's organized crime scene from the 1970s until the mid-'90s when he fled the area. Captured in 2011, he was later found guilty of federal racketeering, extortion, conspiracy and 11 murders.

Good article and the only thing I have against is some claims as the term "American Mafia" being used for Irish organized crime, meaning Mafia is a term only for Italian organized crime. Yes, the real truth is that the Irish mob in the U.S. and its members were labelled as "mobsters" or "mob" since the late 19th century because they controlled everything, while during those days the Italian Mafia was still on its rise and didnt have numerous "world wide" connections, except for several cities around the U.S.

I agree, they should make a distinction and call them by their rightful name.
