I wasn't actually bashing Italians, just telliing you that that is what he tells me. He'd say "you know, my relatives and I are Sicilian, and Uncle Tony lives in Chicago and has connections that I can use if I need someone's kneecaps broken".
So, didn't mean to make it sound like I was bashing all Italians, just my ex, who happens to be Sicilian, which makes my son 1/2 Sicilian, or more like a 1/4, because my Sicilian ex is 1/2 Swedish.
