>none of them make any effort to learn their "mother" language beyond buzzwords they can throw in mid-conversation.>supposedly they love Italy while hating everything American, but at the same time they refuse to learn anything deep about Italy's culture to the extent they don't actually fit in when they go there, and are absolutely overjoyed to return to the States.>constantly make a point of expressing how "Italian" they are to other Americans without realising that beyond eating certain meats and pastas and being Catholic they are as authentically American as everybody they interact with.
>>222348061That's the italian american experience, piezano.
Yes, that is one of the recurring themes throughout the show.
>>222348097>italian americanI like that you can just add any nation to American and end up being more American and less American at the same time.
>>222348097>italian americansee I hate this about America because these people will have European ancestry from their great grandfather's twice removed cousin and still claim to be of that culture like they've ever bothered to try and integrate or live amongst them.To the very few Americans that do make that effort, I'm sorry, but your country is full of people who desperately want to be someone else whilst taking advantage of everything America provides.The hypocrisy is astounding.
>>222348061The show acknowledges all this on a regular basis. It's not exactly some deep secret you uncovered.
