I'd like to know more about the history of my people

Were there Italians in America before the massive sicilian immigration?, How do other American people saw/see us?, What's our biggest contribution to America?

Italians are very comparable to Mexicans. My great grandmothers family came from Palermo and arrived in America through New Orleans. She eventually worked as a migrant farmer until she reached Buffalo and met my great grandfather whose family also came from Palermo. Then there's also the comparison between organized crime but the gangs of the early 20th century are totally different from modern ones like the cartel. The biggest contribution Italians had on America might be either Frank Sinatra or cuisine.

You're American, you're not Italian in any way. Your people are your fellow citizens.

This. Fucking history-stealing yanks.

If Prohibition hadn't happened, the direction the wine industry was going was to heavily favor Italian styles instead of the French one's we have now.

Lmao, read a fucking history book kiddo. Anyone who wasn't an White English Protestant got treated like fucking shit in the US in the 19th century.

It depends, if he speaks Italian then he can claim to be somehow culturally Italian, otherwise no.
