Talk:Sicilian-American

Should this and Sicilian-American be merged?--T. Anthony 16:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

The Prejudice
I'm sorry but despite not being from America I have an interest in organised crime, particularly in NYC, and from readings books, looking on the internet and watching TV programs and films the reason that the Sicilians get abused is simple, as well as starting up the mafia they're now coming to America and commiting all the gangland murders in America. They were involved in America's heroin problem in the 1970s and so it's understandable why they're shunned if now hated.

 * Gee unspecified books, the Internet, and TV programs. How can one argue with that? Anyway I don't think this denies that the mafia is disproportionately Sicilian, just that most Sicilian Americans have no role in it. If the figures are accurate there's 12 million Sicilian Americans and last thing I recall it's unlikely the mafia represents more than a 120,000 people.--T. Anthony 22:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
