presence in the mafia as big as it was shown in the film and are there still non italians that operate in the mafia and has their ever been any non italians that were made guys or has their been any non italians who were treated like made guys but never officially got the title


There has never been a member of the mob that didn't have at least some Italian blood. There's been plenty that were only Italian on their father's side, a handful that were only Italian on their mother's side, but all were Italian to some degree. That's the way it's always been and it won't ever change.

As for associates who have had the clout of made guys, yes. There were several guys like that back in the old days in Chicago. Some may suggest Meyer Lansky, to some extent. More recently, Gambino associate Joe Watts is an oft-mentioned example of this. So, while there are examples, it's still very much the exception to the rule.
