Born here?

Cali, some of the 18th Avenue kids.

Sally Larca (the father) was born here, spoke Italian fairly well. And that's rare because the Westsiders are the most Americanized. A few other guys.

Just like every other Italian family, the language got lost because our parents and grandparents wanted to better us and have us speak English first. Not like most Latinos and Middle Easterners who refuse to learn the language. I know THIRD GENERATION Puerto Ricans born in the Bronx that won't speak a word of English.

Now, there are some fine Puerto Rican people here in the Bronx. But wherever you come from, if you refuse to learn the language, get the fuck out. And I don't care who gets offended by that.
