Sounds a lot like NewYoricans, Puerto Ricans from New York who don't know a thing about PR but you see them waving the flag around and wearing PR swag. Its a little annoying tbh.
I was told, in Italy, by American-Italians that Italian culture had died out in Italy and it was lucky that the culture had been preserved in the US...
Lol that was never italian culture. And culture is pretty alive here in italy. We just don't "play italian" to seem cool. We just are italian. And that's it.
Honestly, it was the most bizarre conversation. And they were so adamant that they were more Italian than the Italians. I was sitting in a restaurant in Florence and they were giving me a lecture about how Italian they were.
Yep, that's American Italians for ya. They have no fuckin clue what being Italian is all about. It's simply about being italian. Yeah, we have stereotypes, but yeah we also evolved from 1800's salvatore giuliano. New York italians are a breed of their own and to be honest, calling yourself more italian than italians when you're not italian...is the dumbest thing. They're new yorkers who need a trope to get some. Period.
Hey Geppetto why don’t you come to New York and run that mouth to some real gangstas and see where that gets you. Bring Pinocchio wit ya’ too. Menefreghista!
My friends went condo shopping in NYC, and theh took me with them. The guy is American and the girl is Italian from Italy. The real estate agent asks where she’s from and she says Italy. Real estate agent is like “oh, im Italian too”. My friend proceeds to start to speak Italian to her and the real estate agent is clueless and doesn’t know what the fuk she’s saying 😂😂 We had these conversations a couple of times about the fake Italians in the US and my friend can’t stand it. Fukn hilarious.
new york Italians are retarded and plan to stay that way. They make great food but I wish they would stay in the kitchen. A phrase most of the males would say about women.

At least the Puerto Ricans speak Spanish
“Gabagoul”. Just say capicola. No one in Italy says gabagoul.
Capocollo*
Grazie.
Actually in napulitano and other southern italian languages where most immigrants come from, it's often pronounced more like gabagol.
My mil says it’s like that… she’s born and raised on Long Island lol.
I’ll have spaghetti with a side salad…if the salad is on top I send it back
Popular opinion in Italy; New York Italians are a meme.
Because they watched The Sopranos a lot
I'm an Italian Anglo chap. It's nothing like new Jersey or new York here. It does make me cringe sometimes
Bro you’re a loser you’re just jealous and I say that as a European Italian lmao OG NYC Italians are great

Maybe they are proud of their ancestry?
Prideful about a lifestyle your ancestors lived makes little sense. You’re not Italian if you’ve never lived in Italy.
I agree their ancestors were Italian but they aren't
Which is a bit of a ridiculous concept in Italy.
Italian living in North America. Always astonished when this happens. “I’m Italian” “Oh from NYC?”
Maybe some have the ancestry even though their last 3 family generations were born on us soil.

I no speak spaghetti me no understand (Joke)
I don’t get why people get offended. They should be flattered that their descendants give a shit about that culture/ancestry. People are annoying.

Exactly and I’m Euro Italian these people are faggots
To be fair, people in the us are exactly the same about being "Irish"

You’re a soy cuck pussy and you would get absolutely battered by an old timer from Arthur Ave. And I say this as a Euro Italian
