Blame MTV's Jersey Shore for making a forefront of the term "Guido". they are annoying after all. It's not comparable to the N word. "Guido" might be pseudo-derogatory, but whatever. Get over yourself.

oh, and do blame the Jews as you have already!

Every other ethnicity has achived this respect, but Italian Americans still do not get treated on an equal playing field when it comes to slanders- such as the word Guido. Did you know that the #1 ethnicity of Americans to fight to protect our country in World War 2 was Italian Americans. Funny how that never made the front page if any newspaper.

ya Capone was cool. The founders of America were ruthless criminals as well yet people like to play dress-up as their "heroes" Georgie Washington and other of those scums the country celebrates by making a "holiday" out of it. Those founders are no different than what you would call a thug or a gangster. They had their way. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to take a day off on these "holidays". Don't make your political correctness be your own downfall. *slaps*.

I see it here and there. But not enough to call an exterminator...

I don't believe you. Cite a reliable reference.

Why is slandering an Italian American any different from slandering an African American? Please explain this one to me.

I'm sure Polock is too but you don't see every polish person all up in arms over the use of the word and demanding marches and claiming hate speech over Polish Jokes. Nobody has the right to be offended it's something you choose. If you stop letting it offend you then guess what, it's not offensive. It loses it's sharp edge, but if you want to sit around and worry about people calling you names you're in for a long life.

Tired of the Italian image as mobsters? then stop having an American mafia in every US city.

Yeah nobody makes fun of Jews or blacks or Polish people or any other ethnicity it's just the Italians that get all the disrespect. Grab a blanket because you're way too thin skinned for this weather.

Jews and Blacks can not be ridiculed in public or even on this forum. The posts would be banned immediately, so how is it just to allow slandering of Italian Americans on these sites? Sounds as if the moderator is not judging fairly. Also, Italian Americans in the mafia are about .001% of all Italian Americans- so that is a stereotype not worth even comparing. A large percentage of Spanish and African American men have been to jail or are gang related- but heaven forbid associating every minority as a gang banger or thug. Think about the unequal comparisons you have made. Sounds like pure, hypocritical Liberals at its best!
