Based on 4 years of living/working in Italy, 1986-1989

1) Yes, ITALIANS are white, Sicilians, on teh other hand, are of mixed lineage (Moors invaded, and intermixed, centuries ago, which is why a)Sicilians are so dark, and b)they HATE Muslims

2) Italy is in teh Medeterranean, or SOuthern Europe, depending on your geological take on things

3) Yes, Italians ARE Latin, which explains their (VERY) Latin-based language.

4) IN the mafia? Maybe 5%, or less. KNOW someone in teh Mafia? 75%-80% (the remaining 20%-25% are lying)

Jazz, A.T.Jazz My background is TOO oong/involved to publish, here, but I was Stationed in Northern Italy from '86-'89. Lived on teh economy, not Base housing, so 80% of my commerce was conducted with Italians, in their native language (well, MY version of their native language).

Maybe, but they are greasy, wear shiney suits and refuse to speak English like normal people. And what's up with those stupid little scooters and riding around saying "Chow!" all the damn time?

Where is Italy?
Over there where all that old stuff is. That's why Italians are dirty cause everything around them is so old.

Are Italians Latins? (yes, no)
Not really, but they speak Latin in their secret religious rituals as they plot to take over the world via the Vatican.

What percentage of Italians are in the Mafia?
I don't know, but I've seen on tv that most of them in New Jersey are. If you see one, it is best to cross to the other side of the street.

That should help you get some extra credit!
