No clue about the legitimacy of these videos. Large parts of the historical text seems right to me. Just don't know the impact it had on DNA. Again, it seems plausible.
Help Man of Roma!
Joe Piscopo was hilarious on SNL.
Anyway, Italians were interned and lynched on the continent once upon a time. Interesting video.
At about the 2:44 mark the gentleman speaks about being called a "wop" for the first time. I clearly remember the first time it happened to me. It was on Halloween, we couldn't have been older than 10, and I was trick or treating with my cousin and his friends in the East end of the city. At one house a man with a tatoo smoking asked, "Est-ce que vous etes des wops?" We all looked at each other clueless. We wondered what a 'wop' was. Finally he said, "Je donne pas a les wops" and slammed the door. He didn't "give candy to wops."
I've been fighting Halloween prejudice ever since. No kid should have to go home with one less Coffee Crisp. Damn that's good chocolate.
