Even if Pizza doesn't see the humor in my previous posts, he's intelligent enough to know they are satirical and not malicious.

I certainly do not have a problem with Italians or Italian-Americans.

When I think of Italian-Americans I do not think of the mafia because stereotyping and pigeonholing people is a pet peeve of mine, particularly when it comes to my own tribe.

Unfortunately, a minority of people seem to derive a lot of their cultural identity from the mafia and get their backs up if you don't excuse their criminality - which is unfortunate!

I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
