The area where my dad grew up in Detroit was primarily Italian and Fillipino. Both groups were discriminated against big time in their high school so they formed the Essex Avenue Brotherhood Association (EABA for short). They were a tight group of guys and are still in touch today. Some weren't able to tell the difference between the Italians and the Fillipinos. One of the Fillipinos them had a last name of Monticello. When I moved into the house I'm in now and met the neighbors, they told me their last name was Monticello and I asked if they had relatives in Warren. They didn't and said that their last name is Italian. In short, surnames don't always give away ethnicity!
