I think that's pretty unfair on guys who have as much, or more, Italian blood but just happen to have a non-Italian surname.

Maybe I'm wrong on this but I definitely recall seeing a few maiden names for made guys that weren't Italian yet you barely see the Italian-Americans with non-Italian surnames get made, and when they do, i.e. Veasey (Sicilian mother), there is uproar all because of his surname.

Fair point. More than a few guys with questionable bloodlines have slipped through the cracks over the years because they had the right last name.
