May I word your question correctly? Why do we have more class............now that you've had an English lesson we can move on to your assinine question. Class like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When that beholder spends most of his or her time in front of a mirror the image may distort just a bit and there lies the problem. If the Sicillians would be facing away from the mirror, they would be able to see that in thier most common employment, as plumbers, their butt crack is what most of the world is seeing and the world is not impressed. Since the only body parts larger than their butt cracks are their proverbial bellies it doesn't leave them a lot to work with in leisure time activities. Thus they spend their Sundays trying to make up nick names for all cultures whose names they can't spell. Once they get started with thier mind expanding game, they get totally mixed up and include their dinner menu. Thankfully, they are occupied the rest of the week working at the family pizzaria and going to night school to get their GEDs and going on into higher education to earn that beloved plumbers license. Yes, these Sicillians are classy people who all live in classy neighborhoods with an abundance of lawn ornamentation. They seem to specialize in trolls who are all larger once again than the Sicillian body parts. It's very hard for them to see how many trolls they do have due to the very low frontal hair lines so they often repurchase the same troll they bought the week before. Although it may look as if the little critters are reproducing on the front lawn, it is not true. Laying them down on top of one another serves a much greater purpose as sex education tools for their young and as entertainment when other family members come to visit. The family has always had a special place in their hearts but now that the drug trade has been taken over by the congolese mulangions and the wet backs, they no longer need to congregate to divvy up the weekly take and to decide who to hit in the coming week, hopfully not another classy Sicillian. They are a bit concerned about the hits as they are never able to get enough tough guys together to have a football team named after them. The Fighting Irish has a ring to it, but probably not as classy as the Monday Wednesday and Friday night wrench twisters or the Tuesday and Thursday night pizza delivery boys. I know it is hard to maintain such a high standard of class but somehow, I think the world can see you like you really are.

Actually, according to the United States Census of 2000, Italian-American's listed 'auto mechanic' as their most common occupation. Plumber was way down on the list. After mechanic the number two and three most common jobs for Italian-Americans were 'Construction Labourer', and 'Truck Driver'. Cement Finisher and Small Business Proprieter were 4th and 5th.
Then again there was no differentiation made between Italian-Americans and Sicilian-Americans. One wonders if the Sicilians had a category of their own if 'Gangster' would be at the top of the list.

Sicilians also get a lot of crap. Both my husband and I are Italian his family is northern Italy(Benavento(sp) i think) where my family is Sicilian and the two of have gotten into it more then once. I remember the first time we talked about it I about slapped him for a comment that is often used to dehumanize black people. I'm prod of my history as anyone should be but I don't think that makes me better or less then anyone.

I think you probably embarrassed every Italian-American that read your question. You would probably better represent your people by not commenting on issues of ethnicity. People don't really care if your Sicilian or not. My ex-husband is Italian, our daughter is beautiful, he is very well spoken and he, too, would not be to keen on claiming you as a paisano.
