That's the really funny part about the whole mobster image that we have in popular culture. In the real world, Jewish mobsters have been very prominent in the history of organized crime. Just think of Meyer Lansky, Dutch Schultz, and Buggsy Siegal, to name the most famous ones. Hollywood, however, where many of the most important producers were Jewish, focused mainly on Italian mobsters with the exception of a few movies like the Buggsy Siegal movie a few years back and a really long (four hours!) movie about Jewish gangsters, Once upon a Time in America (1984). In all fairness, this was reinforced by directors like Martin Scorcese, who wanted to do stories based on the 'hood they knew as children. The same was true of actors like Robert DeNiro.

The fact, however, is that the kind of tough talk associated with the mob characters in movies, is pretty common among white, working class types throughout the NYC metro area.

The reaction isn't even that over the top. When I was in high school, I was dating a Jewish girl, and am Jewish myself. However, my dad isn't, and the girl's parents flipped out because I have "unJewish" blood - I'm "unpure" (that, and the only time I went to temple was when I had a gig - I played in a Klezmer band). Needless to say, when she called me to break it off (it was a short relationship, anyway - one of those 2 week high school things), her parents took the phone and had a few words with me that'll get me some infraction points if I go into detail!

It is funny how "stereotypically" Italian the dad sounded.

If I had a son, and the girl's parents did not want my son to date her because of race/religion/ethnicity/etc., I would be cool with them being upfront about how they felt.

What I would not like would be cursing or threatening my child. That could ugly really fast.

Actually they all had thick New York Accents, not really Italian at all. "you don't repeat what I say, Oh my God, Oh my God Good."

Reminds me of Armenians. My girlfriend's Armenian, but her family is somewhat "progressive" in their social thinking. I'm not allowed in some of her friend's houses. And some of her friends who have non-Armenian partners have been kicked out of their houses.

I meant New York, Soprano type Italian. The accent is more a New York accent, but is commonly attributed to Italians.
