I disagree with the previous poster. Italian-Americans have been so vilified that it is accepted throughout the population that we are a sub-class that is either "connected" to the mob or are buffoons who can't behave acceptably in society.
Most of the problem has arisen because we don't fight back and sometimes sponsor the stereotype. (The Godfather), (The Sopranos) etc.
