It's always gonna be 1st and 2nd generation immigrants that will be criminals most of the time. once you get to the 4th generation like most Italians in NYC are now, they are Italian by surname only.


hit the nail right on the head

i personally know tons of italians who work on wall street, run nonprofits, work for the city, lawyers, doctors, etc

+1 for both posts.

Most Italian Americans don't need to resort to crime today. That's not something to lament (woe for the good old days when life was like a Scorsese film).

It's something to be proud of; and as a second generation Italian American, I am.


Amen paisan... Second generation Italo-Americano here.
