Is this a joke thread?
I've watched several gangster films and docs.
Characters are killers and use profanity,slurs,etc and of course
a lot of the films are based on la cosa nostra.
I've never used or wanted to use any of the ethnic slurs directed towards Italians , nor do I feel that my RIGHTS are being infringed upon if I can't say those words (in public).
I'm not Italian American,I can't speak for that group, and regardless of how many hollywood films I watch, I'll NEVER know how real life Italians feel about those slurs.
Goodfellas doesn't represent Italians any more than (insert rapper's name) represents Black people.
We're all adults here...please get off the bullshitt, people.
