Italy has been conquered more times than any of the larger European countries.. So if you wanna get technical about it well then you know..

Chicago had tons of non Italians guys in power positions but they never cared about that stuff anyways really and seemed separate from Cosa Nostra. I’ve read they haven’t made anyone since the early 80’s and aren’t into the ceremony thing. Clearly being italian doesn’t preclude anyone from snitching so I think they had it right.

Joe Watts and the Lufthansa guy are the only powerful non Italian New York guys I can think of. Sheerhan said he was never made.
