For the most part I agree with Liggio. During the 30s on up Italians can be found in all walks of life excelling. The criminals just chose that route instead. I don’t know if they were dummies or not, but a majority were uneducated and simple minded. Tough as nails though
I agree except for the timeline, the 1930' is way off, it is more like the 1950's on up. Even then, there was still discrimination in some fields. There is a famous lawsuit that was filed in the 1970's when an Italian-American professor at City College in New York was wondering why he was being denied tenure. He looked into it and found out they would not tenure Italians, in fact in thier history they had never done so. He won, I believe the name of the professor was Calandra. I was surprised when I found out about it, because they have always been very liberal.
