Well there’s alot of italian american that dress like black guys.
Like there’s black guys that act like italians. Go to Italy and you’ll see alot of italians teens and young adults that dress like black people or arab people from the Cité of Paris or Marseille. Also, there’s alot of italian that are rapping.
So saying that uou don’t see italians that tried to “act black” is kind of full of nothing.

Also, yes hip hop or gangster rap or street gangs emulate the italian mafia, because they grew up with mafia movies. They all like the Godfather movies.
They also emulate western movies, because they grew up watching those movies.

Also, when we talk about organized crime and ”crime culture”, the italian mob is the most well know, they are like the exemple of organized crime
