The cause can be found in marginalization.
While in South America Italians blended in with the culture (cause of the similarity with their own) in the US you had the opposite.
I can't think of two more different cultures than favela culture and high Roman culture.
Every other restaurant and surname here is italian and we borrowed a shitload of things like talking with our hands, fucking kill yourself.
the pardo thinks hes more italian then a native from new jersey
Aren't the favela dwellers mostly niggers?
When did we even take Italians?
One factor was the language, what's more similar to Italian between a variation of Spanish and English? The former.
And Italians didn't choose to preserve their traditions and culture in the US they had to, cause Americans were highly racist while Hispanics weren't.
I'm not italian, I'm a kraut/slav euromutt, I just know for a fact culture here is more italian-influenced than in the US.
Favelas must have shittons of Italians then
