Yeah that 6.75 sounds right. Italian migration has given so much to American culture at large. Actually that percentage might be a point or two low.
Just pick up any phone book from any American city, you'll have no trouble finding Italian names.
There organizations like Order of the Sons Of Italy that you can contact for further information.

Okay, for starters Shakira is Columbian, not Itailian-American!
Yes, a great deal of Americans do have some Italian descent.
