This video cuts deeper than the others because ItalianAware is based
in, you guessed it, Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, New York. Is Bensonhurst an
Italian area of New York? Absolutely. Is it whatever nonsense this
video imagines it to be? Absolutely not. This video is not a parody-its
a tragedy. Just
a quick fact check here: I went to a predominately Italian private high
school in Brooklyn. 90% of my graduating class went on to college
straight out of high school. Our Italian Valedictorian went to Harvard,
and our Italian Salutatorian went to MIT. As far as I can tell, no one
has gone on to become a gangster or star on the Jersey Shore. Italians
are above and beyond these Anti-Italian stereotypes, whether the media (and the public)
would like to
believe it or not.
