I wouldn't have posted this but I'm still shocked by my racist uncle's response (my aunt's husband, who's half-Irish, half-Wasp). My parents forwarded it to all their friends, it's obviously a very harmless joke. This is my uncle's response:
I FIND THIS MOST OFFENSIVE TO COMPARE AMERICANS VS. ITALIANS AND THIS IS SO IGNORANT FOR YOU TO MAKE A GENERAL STATEMENT . FOR IF YOU AND /OR ANY OTHER IMMIGRANT OR ALIEN TO WHOM WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE OR ACHIEVED A PROSPEROUS ADVANCEMENT FROM THE COUNTRYYOU CAME FROM . TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND THEN KISS THE GROUND OR KNOCK WOOD ,USE YOUR HEAD IF YOU NEED TO AND REMEMBER THE PRICE MANY STILL TO THIS DAY HAVE GIVEN WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH OUR GOVERNMENT OR NOT REMEMBER IF IT WASN'T FOR ALL THOSE YOUNG MEN AND WOMAN WHO FOUGHT AND PAID WITH THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FROM THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR TO OUR PRESENT TIME {WE THE PEOPLE...}IN MY COUNTRY KNOWN AS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS BUILT AND FOUNDED BY MANY DIFFERENT IMMIGRANTS .AS A MAN OF PROUD IRISH DESCENT WHO MARRIED A GREAT WOMAN FROM ITALIAN DESCENT AND DOING OUR BEST TO RAISE AMERICAN CHILDREN IN THIS U.S.A. JUST LIKE YOU . SPEAK FOR YOURSELF NOT FOR ME BECAUSE IF YOU HAD ANY "COMMON SENSE" OR UNLESS YOU ARE RACIST WHICH YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE ,BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHICH ALLOWS FREEDOM OF SPEECH . HOWEVER, AS I DRAW TO A CLOSE I FEEL IT IS PARAMOUNT FOR YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE IN MY COUNTRY FOR IF YOU COULD HAVE MADE IT IN YOURS OR ITALY I WOULD NOT BE WASTING MY TIME REPLYING TO SUCH AN APPALLING ,BIAS ,AND MOST OF ALL INSANE GENERALIZATION OF ITALIAN YOUTH/PEOPLE VS. AMERICAN YOUTH/PEOPLE.
> P.S. WOULD YOU LIKE TO DISCUSS THE INFLUENCE OF AN ORGANIZATION KNOWN TO MOST AS "LA COSA NOSTRA"/ KNOWN TO ALL AMERICANS AS I THINK IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN "THE MAFIA" WHERE ITALIAN KIDS AND ONLY FULL BLOODED ITALIAN KIDS /BOYS CAN BECOME "MADE MEN" OR IS THIS .JUST AN ORGANIZATION THAT NEVER EXISTS! F.Y.I. ASK MY PROUD HARDWORKING ITALIAN IN-LAWS ABOUT HOW PROUD THEY ARE TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACHEIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM AND HOW MUCH THEY LOVE THE U.S.A. . THANK GOD FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY HELPED INFLUENCE OUR KIDS, AND INSTILL PROPER VALUES ALONG WITH MY MOM THE "IRISH' SIDE SO THAT THEY LEARN THE VALUE OF FAMILY AND CULTURE NOT SOME IGNORANT TALE OF ITALIAN/VS/AMERICAN.
> LIVE - LOVE - LAUGH , AND PLEASE DON'T EVER SEND ME AN IGNORANT, BIASED, STATEMENT !
RESPECTFULLY,
THE MORAN CLAN/MDCG1

Marcello,,this aint even funny cos it's True...My Italian friends in Brooklyn are so dependant on there mothers its scary...Meanwhile you got American kids in the neighborhood as young as 18+ that have moved to NYC from the other end of the country that are totally self sufficient...My best friend Stevie Desario is 29 years old,,his bedroom is like the guy from 40 year old virgin,,,toy cars and everything...
Marcello,,,you opened up a whole can of worms..My wife is Italian so I aint gonna say too much for fear of my life,,,but I swear to god her 34 year old brother wears diapers...... |

I'm sure some Itailans on here will find it funny/cute, but it's the reply that really got me going, I figured I'd share that too hhaha |
