I truly believe that if they plan on keeping the mafia going this is a subject that will have to be given great consideration. I understand Cosa Nostra is a strictly Italian thing but as the times change the families are going to have to change with them. These days there are far more opportunities available and a life as a wiseguy does not have the appeal it did in the past. They even have Gotti on a wire tap with Frankie Loc talking about how hard it had gotten to find good recruits. As the talent pool shrinks the families are going to have to find other options. This is probably going to mean they are going to have to relax the ethnicity restrictions. The old time mobsters believed that only Italians cold be loyal to omertà. Well we know from all the informers there have been that this is not true. So if a guy is a good earner and has proven himself who cares if he is full blooded Italian. Or even if his father was Italian. The most important thing is can the guy bring in money or can he be trusted to carry out the dirty work, Italian or not.
