[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A bit off topic but I can't take Italian-Americans that can't speak/comprehend Italian seriously when they swell up in pride over their Italian heritage. Like-wise Irish-Americans, who are laughed at in Ireland as being Plastic Paddies. Language is a huge part of cultural identity. If you've lost it, you are just another american no matter how much you try to connect to your roots. Blame your parents for not learning from your grandparents so they [your parents] couldn't teach you. Liking Cacciatore and wearing clothing with il tricolore on it does not make you an italian-american. [/quote] I totally agree with you. I am 1/2 Italian but I am not some nut-job Italian-American. I just like traveling to Italy and seeing my family there. I speak very little Italian but I can cook all the food (my Nonna taught me).[/quote]
