The term dago when used by Italians usually means "overly" Italian.

Are your shoes Italian? Cuz wherever they go, dago. Ha.

I'm hardly mad about it. I just have never heard the term used so flippantly and was under the impression it was a slur. I'm not Italian and just never knew it was an appropriate thing to say.

Should be the Real MOBwives of NJ. I like Caroline the best. So far between this season, and New York and Atlanta,, I like this season the best. At least they actually seem to have money. Deshawn was the only one who really had money on the ATL season.

So because they're Italian and speak with a NJ accent that makes them mafia? Damn my family must be the Gottis!

Don't stereotype if you don't like being stereotyped.

Please quote the post where I said that because they are Italian and speak with a NJ accent, that this makes them mafia. Thanks.

So what makes them mafia then? Mafia is a stereotype as most organized crime these days (and in the past) is not as it is thought of by the general American public. I actually took a class on organized crime in America, so I can back up what I'm saying.

Hey Jacqueline, your daughter isn't passing classes, she is attending summer school, and here is my suggestion as money is not an issue for you: PRIVATE TUTORING. Hell I'd do it, I'm versed in trigonometry and history (except this was a year ago).

Well first of all I need people not to ASSume I am basing it on a stereotype.
Second, I'm basing it on information I have learned about the families.

I am not ASSuming, I directly asked you what makes them mafia in your OPINION as you made a statement. You haven't answered PmMama or me, just said you had information. What is this information you read?

Why not share this information so you can back up what you're saying? She's Italian, I have done coursework on the subject, enlighten us, there is a reason we're asking.
