When I said they were "Italian," I meant that they were a product of Philadelphia's Italian-American community. I revised my statement after you pointed that out.

And this type of critique is coming from a person who says that "Caucasian" is a race and always will be.I suppose the same goes for the mulattoes, the mongreloids and the Orientals too.

Why not? And many times, Italian gangsters had to ties to Sicilian organized groups, or at least had some cultural affinities.

There's some great photos of Italian American housing in Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights by a visitor from Italy on one of CD's competitors - but I guess I can't say more than that.

Here's an interesting article about the Italian and Polish neighborhoods of Brooklyn.
