Message: [QUOTE="Eric15, post: 1127927, member: 676"] But Marsh, I think part of your ambivalence towards not caring if people insult you for being Italian-American is because Italian-Americans are 100% fully assimilated into American society. Being Italian-American today doesn't put you at any type of competitive disadvantage - very few people today are prejudiced against you. If we were having this conversation in 1890 when Italians coming over on the boat faced all sorts of adversity, I bet you would HATE being called a wop, guinea, etc. [/QUOTE]
