what do you think about italian people? are they all mafiosi?

Question

this is not a stupid question!!!!!
i'm italian so I know we aren't mafiosi!
i just wanted to know what other people think!because when I travel and I say that i'm italian people tell me"oh yes italy, mafia!" and that's not kind! as in every american movie italian people are described as mafiosi i just wondered if you, the americans, think that we're really like that!

Answer 1

me italiano too.

but stereotypes are around for everyone. yes people can say "italy doesn't deserve anything" and that, because italians are rude and just lack specific qualities, is abunch of garbage.

insecurity is amongst those that feel this way. all this dates way back to when the italian groups arrived in this country, and stole other jobs that americans take. these assholic americans from way back felt that italians were jerks, and called them names because they stole these jobs. those people have died and their children and grandchildren say italians are jerk offs just because. they don't know the reason, they just say this because their grandparents and parents say this.

people say italy didn't deserve to win 2006 world cup, bullshit, you can say they cheated by having materazzi headbutt zidane, but simply zidane took it too far. in futbol, talks and arguing always happen, you got to let go, and zidane didnt.

italians brought soccer to the US, so if you like soccer, you should like Italy, since those large italian groups were the first to start playing soccer, they played with eachother, others quickly learned from the italians. then the brazils and other southern americanos came and followed.

Answer 2

Any people that like to have as much fun as the Italians do can't be all bad. There's mafiosi in all cultures. Italy just has a catchy name for theirs.

Answer 3

I love Italian people, and if you think they are all mafiosi then you lust know that is it stupid to believe in clichés.
I prefere Italian from the North, the dolce vita, the way they speak, their optimism.

Answer 4

In my opinion so much of them had been well, we now have a couple of dangerous seeds that destroy it for each person. Also folks generally tend to get Mafia combined up with simply simple gangsters, BONNIE AND CLYDE WERE NOT IN THE MAFIA!!! Now that thats apart, the specific Mafia hated medicines, offered a host of alcohol, and gambled. Also "stole" however this customarily intended a worker of a manufacturer could deliver them units then say they had been stolen and they do not know who by means of. Then they obtained into loansharking, that is whatever folks nonetheless do at present. Pretty a lot you would borrow cash from them, or ask them to do whatever however you needed to pay them again in any other case you obtained punished. Now I will speak approximately the homicide aspect. A lot of Mafia participants that murdered, did not kill well folks. Most of the time they'd recognize for law enforcement officials, and even if getting arrested would not attempt to combat it. Some gangsters concept they had been invincible and killed a host of law enforcement officials. Others corresponding to Henry Hill didn't kill a unmarried character that we all know of, and we're optimistic he on no account killed a cop. The rationale I suppose we positioned an finish to the Mafia is not considering that they had been dangerous, it used to be considering that they had been like a brand new govt that labored higher then the truly govt, and the truly govt unearths it a quandary whilst folks could as a substitute be wealthy and cherished (Mafia) then normal and hated (Government). Also once we took the Mafia out (now not absolutely however critically broken them) we found out plenty of latest methods, and bought new apparatus for taking down criminals. Which is excellent, however something the federal government did not notice is the Mafia took out different criminals. After the Mafia used to be frequently long gone the average avenue gangs began to stand up, and so they had no order or recognize. Also to not point out the federal government itself misplaced plenty of cash in investment to give up the Mafia, and the money the Mafia used to be passing round. Then the Mafia participants that did bring on are dull wealthy children of excellent guys who suppose they understand how to run matters, however quite are gigantic failures. So now we're caught with a Mafia who's involved approximately medicines, and popularity alternatively of recognize, avenue gangs, and an enormously broke govt. Like I stated even though we did have dangerous seeds but when the ultra-modern gangsters, and "gangstas" went up towards the traditional gangsters. The ultra-modern ones could get blown away.

Answer 5

Not at all. That's a silly idea, due to, mainly, Hollywood's influence. I really admire Italians because they are very close to my people, as I am from Romania. I even have relatives in Italy, who work and live there, I have a cousin who is married there, so I'm due to visit Italy pretty soon.

Answer 6

Most of them aren't mafia and most of them don't have anything to even do with the mafia or want to have anything to do with the mafia. However, if you find a Sicilian, that might be a different case. Still, even then its a very small portion of people that are involved.

Answer 7

what?....I am Italian, on both sides sicilian on one and no. That would be such a tiny percentage of Italians that you couldnt even count it. I think most of that have gone legit by now anyway.


who said geese - that's retarded.... it's ginnis, or wops and anything that means Italian is ok by me, or most Italians for that matter. Oh...you're a ginni..yep. and very glad.

Answer 8
