That is an excellent question but technically you would not be at least half italian. During the 90's the rules were changed and guys that were half italian could be made,they want you to be half italian from your father side so that you'll have italian last name....But to be honest it is really hard for them or really anyone to check your ethnicity with out an ethnic DNA test(you cang get from ancestory.com for 100$)or knowing your backround or family members. So yes im almost 100% positive that their are or were members that have lied or have been told to lie about their ethnicity by other members so that they can be made....But if your not italian there is many other ethnic mafia's out their.... i might make a post all about that
