    As an Irishman I can say Italians are great Americans and vice versa. Earlier generations of immigrants were witnessing different cultures for the first time and were hostile and felt threatened by and to each other but as a the melting pot worked it's magic we saw the advantages each brought to OUR country.

    I am German descent and my wife is of Italian extraction. In Boston, my sister lived in the Italian section called the North End on Hanover Street where she had an apartment. When she walked home from work at night guys would follow her to make sure she got home safely. I never had to worry about her. If someone went into the North End looking for trouble they would get more then they bargained for. I am sure it is different now and not for the better!

      I'm the same combination Sicilian/German. I've heard every obvious, stereotypical joke in the world pertaining to it. Ironically, whether it was the teller's intention or not, most could be taken somewhat complimentary, frankly. I don't remember any of insinuation of weakness, &or being fearful of anything, lol. You make a valid point about the safety of the (most Mobbed up in particular) neighborhood's for women and children. It just wasn't going to be acceptable, period.
      I'm still in the dark about how that's somehow flawed thinking......

    I'm 100% Irish American (from da Bronx) and married a full 100% wop. My parents weren't happy when they heard I was dating an eye-talian, saying they'd prefer me to "marry a White girl". Funny thing is, my eye-talian brothers in law are all short and pudgy with greased back hair (what's left of it), but I truly love my in-laws and my parents came around to love them as well. My in-laws refuse to let a "mick" into the kitchen, which is fine by me. And oh my God, never in my life have I seen such quantities of food as when my wife and her family cook for holidays.

    Love this. I grew up in Mount Pleasant, in the house my mother grew up in. She was Irish and French, born in 1906 and she told me that when she was growing up, girls would be disowned if they married an Italian. Also appreciated the gentleman's remarks about how hard people had it then. My Irish grandmother, an orphan, started work at 12 in a Taftville, CT mill and she lost two fingers while working here. I belong to a RI history Facebook group and child labor came up. I couldn't believe how many people had grandparents or even parents who started work at 12 or 13. The labor exploitation and discrimination by the Yankees was unbelievable.

      In reality, the Irish were more likely to inflict violence on other groups than to have violence inflicted on them. And most of the pushback against Italians came from the Irish themselves, who did not actually care about sharing a "religion" (Irish-American Catholicism was vastly different than the Catholicism of Italian immigrants). The important point here is that the Irish and Italians learned to get along with each other and, through marriage, made peace and progress. Both groups did very, very well in America, and are among the most successful in terms of wealth/income in the Northeast.

The coolest cars came from Italy. The food is still the best in the world imo, far superior to northern Europe. We basically have the intellect and organizational skills of the northerners but with a sense of art/fashion/style that makes the world envy.. bottom line is, Italian Americans are impossible to upset with racism because if my racial stereotype is John Gotti well that's pretty fuckin cool to me lol

      I've learned to take Nixon's ethnic blurting with a grain of salt. The dude lived in a White House built on Palladian architecture. He also made derogatory remarks about the Irish, yet went to Ireland to visit his "ancestral home," and was a big admirer of Kennedy later in life. I think that this sort of rhetoric was often inconsistent with actions -which is bizarre, but apparently typical in the 70s (or so I've heard).

      @@giovannidibravato5576 Um, the Irish and Italians had "mixed marriages" in areas where a lot of Italians and Irish settled. The Irish settled all over the country (Italians predominately in the Northeast), so no it is not the most common of mixed marriages in the US overall. In the Midwest, where there was a lot of German settlements, German-Irish marriages will be more common than Irish-Italian.

    My father was Irish and my mother Italian. The derogatory insults back in the 20th century and beyond were often expressed out of jealousy. Italian women became the preference amongst American men and Italian men were more attractive to American women. In the 1960's, children were being born mixed with Italian/Irish, Italian/Puerto Rican, Italian/Dominican, Italian Cuban, Italian/German, Italian English, and much more. When Sofia Loren became a sex symbol, that translated into much of the success of more Italians in cinema.

  • @GhostRanger5060

    There were never any rich Irish in Providence. The Irish were treated badly by the English who originally founded Providence. Stuff rolls downhill. When the Italians and Portugese showed up, the Irish now had people they could treat as inferiors. But they had no idea that the Italians were far more sophisticated and business oriented then they were. So as the Italians improved their lot, the Irish got bitter. Irish had to become part of the system i.e. politicians, cops, FBI agents, and military men, to try to go middle class. A few became lawyers. But the lady who spit on the Italian lady in her childhood? If she was rich she was of English descent. If she was Irish and rich, she must have been a Kennedy from Boston.
