My family is from Reggio, Calabria and I know that when I have gone over there and when my parents travel there every year, many of the Calabrians and Abbruzese look at Sicilians as peasants and untrustworthy people. The southern Italians also still have nothing good to say about Northern Italians (as my dad was born in San Marino-his dad from Calabria, his mom from from Bologna). And vice versa, Northern Italians look at Southern Italians as peasants and uneducated.
Similar to how in the U.S, there are labels for all the different parts of the country. The south has rednecks, the northerners have money, the Midwest is wholesome and full of nice people, the west coast are liberal hippies etc...most likely the same in every country.

Olivant, Pizzaboy sounds like something disagreeable landed on his abeetz tonight, or is it my imagination?? Marone and doozy bots. But you're right! Oli's my pal. I was just busting his onions and he knows it. But for the record, he started it with that Calabrese crack .

I just can't stand Italians that try and act or promote that there SUPER ITALIAN!! Exactly. If your family got here a hundred years ago, and you still feel the need to act and sound like Vinnie Barbarino, then something's missing. All kidding aside, they did a geat job of depicting that on "The Sopranos." Those assholes talked and talked about "what part a da boot are u from," and "we're goin to de udda side on business." Yet when they finally got there, the REAL Italians made fun of them. I'm reminded of Paulie asking for "regular macaroni and gravy" at the restaurant. Fuckin moron .

My wife ever says that shit she knows she has a beating coming you know what I'm saying PB Old World Style Reminds me of Paulie in "The Pope of Greenwich Village." I mean, you don’t abuse ‘em once in a while they’ll shit all over you. I don’t mean you walk around morning to night whackin’ ‘em upside the head like someone from the other side, but you terrorize ‘em once in a while just to keep ‘em in line. Know what I mean? Like sometimes, when they embarrass you in front of your friends, you whack ‘em with a backhand. You’re not in the middle of the road like some fucking animal, but nice, in the bedroom. Ba-boom! “What am I? Some kind of fucking asshole? Get your coat on fast and you don’t say goodnight to nobody! You understand me?” That’s to keep them humble. When you don’t let them say goodnight to nobody, they walk out looking at the fucking floor.

I'm from the Youngstown, OH area, so I don't have anything close to a Jersey accent. Yeah, I remember when Boom-Boom Mancini went on "Who's the Boss?" and tried to sound like he was from Brooklyn. It was tragic .

The jersey shore cast members and everything. Personally I enjoyed that show because I felt it was entertaining but in reality it was sickening. These guys were American not italian. If you were raised italian you know what being italian is. Those who try to boast seem to not know what being italian really is.

Sicilians were raped by black people and northern Italians weren't? I don't think they were raped, if anything it was consensual

That's a myth based on racism. People from North Africa such as the Moors and Berbers are Caucasian. The people in Europe who have the most North African DNA or heritage, are not Italians or Sicilians but are people from Southern Spain and Portugal.

^^^ Exactly. I would quibble about all Moors or Berbers being "Caucasian" because that term is more social than biologically descriptive but as pointed out the European people with the most genetic African inheritance are from Iberia, not Sicily. Some of this heritage is thought to go back to prehistoric times (i.e more than 10,000 years prior) The rest might have come via Roman conquest, Vandal conquests, Atlantic Slave trade, migrations, Moorish conquest, and of course people just getting together to do the do as they've always done. Some of the latest science suggests that "white" skin, as Americans would understand it anyway is a relatively recent development in Europe (6-7000 yrs ago) Population groups always shade (pun definitely intended) into each other. It's difficult to draw hard and fast lines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_admixture_in_EuropeHaplogroup L lineages are relatively infrequent (1% or less) throughout Europe with the exception of Iberia where frequencies as high as 22% have been reported and some regions of Italy where frequencies as high as 2% and 3% have been found. According to a study in 2012 by Cerezo et al., about 65% of the European L lineages most likely arrived in rather recent historical times (Romanization period, Arab conquest of the Iberian Peninsula and Sicily, Atlantic slave trade) and about 35% of L mtDNAs form European-specific subclades, revealing that there was gene flow from sub-Saharan Africa toward Europe as early as 11,000 yr ago...

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
