i think you mistake him for enrico salvatore "ratso" rizzo in midnight cowboy!

i didn't know that the term "guinea" refers only to sicilians. the only slurs for italians i knew in english were "wop" and "greaseball", but in the movie there are several others, "daigo", "gumbah". do these refer only to sicilians or italians in general?

i've heard that the name "rizzi" was a rather northern italian name. however, in the german dubbing, he calls connie a "spaghettifresser" (spaghetti-muncher) which is a derrogative term for italians as a whole. we have some others in german, like "itaker", "makkaronifresser", "papagallo", "katzelmacher", but none specially for sicilians though!

but i think you italians also have some names for germans and austrians, so no harm done!

and what about al neri? is he sicilian? he's rather fair (played by an irish lad). is he also some mainland italian?
