Was that just a hype cause by the movie "The Godfather"?

a little bit probably. Italian Americans are now associated with good food and beautiful women.

The mafia didn't and still doesn't have just Italians or Italian/Americans. They were a majority, but not the only members. It is a stereotype kind of like saying Irish are drunks.

They were never associated with the Italian mafia...always the US Italian mafia!
All big US mafia names are American, I cannot name ONE major story involving the Italians on US soil!!!
They may work together with drugs and what not, but I doubt one pull the others strings.

It is politically incorrect to associate them with the mafia. Just as with any stereotype.
