I doubt it. Most extortionists prey on their own kind. And there's strength in numbers. Like I said, the Italian American population has dwindled significantly in Bensonhurst. A lot of Chinese, and like SC said, a lot of Mexicans and Russians.

Why should a Chinese or Russian shopkeeper fear some Goombah when they outnumber them? And the immigrants of today aren't nearly as afraid to call the law as they were fifty years ago.

Extortion rackets are becoming a thing of the past anyway. Go try to extort a Starbucks. With the amount of taxes they pay the government, you'll have everyone from the FBI to Homeland Security on you in ten minutes.
