You're all those things, Nicky? Christ, you're like a pot of stew.

I'm Italian American. Born here. Parents born here. All four grandparents born in Italy.

I stress the American part because all too often you'll get guys on these boards (and in real life) who overdo the Italian thing so much, you just know they're overcompensating for something. It's like they have an identity crisis.

And that's not to say that I don't feel close to the culture because God knows I do. I lived in Lauropoli, Cosenza for almost two years before I got married, and we still own the property where my paternal grandmother was born in that town.

I just hate all the phony ginzo shit. Like the guy who thinks he's a real Italian because he memorized the words to a Jerry Vale song, but doesn't speak a word of Italian otherwise. It's like when Paulie Walnuts went to Italy and asked for macaroni and regular gravy lol.

Yeah since I'm so many things I still show pride in each one. I don't pretend to be 100% Italian but I still take pride in being Italian but don't go too far and overdo it.

Yeah, how does that work? If you're half French and half Polish, aren't you too stupid to be pretentious?

Just kidding (Well, not about the French, they're a pain in the ass. But Poles are okay in my book lol ).

haha those are pretty hard to show pride (I don't mean I'm not proud of it, I am)compared to showing pride in being Irish and Italian. The way I show pride in being Polish is by eating pierogi's. You should try them them. I have no idea on how to show pride in being French lol

Irish, I can honestly say I don't know them enough to judge. Greeks are great cooks? Seems like they own alot of restaurants! No effect on me either way.

I'll tell you what - those Greeks have some great restaurants throughout Chicagoland. They do the good old fashioned American "diner food" right!

No - my mother is 100% Italian and my dad is 100% German & Hillbilly. Mom was born & raised in Little Italy (Aberdeen & West Harrison Street - near Tufano's Restaurant & Tap) and dad was born & raised in Kentucky/Indiana. wink

Almost all Irish, one of my great grandfathers was from England, a fact my grandfather doesn't like to talk about lol I have a little Welsh in me, but aside from that I'm pretty much green blooded Irish.
