I don't think I'm missing the point as I never said regular families, I specifically said "mafia" so unless you are in a mafia family this wouldn't apply to you.I don't mean they literally say they are Italian more so than American/Canadian when asked specifically what their background or ancestry is. I certainly refer to myself as Canadian when I travel abroad but when asked what my "background is" I would say Italian as I'm sure anyone else would.
