My nephew (16, Italian Catholic) and his girlfriend (17, Jew) were at my house when they got into a bizarre argument, the exact causes of which I could not ascertain. She called him a “filthy papist bastard” and a “person of pasta” he replied with something about her still falling over herself for “dago cock” and called her a “fucking red sea pedestrian”
Unsure how to proceed, would teaching them about the 1929 Atlantic City conference and the national crime syndicate be a good way to inspire them to bridge their divide?
this is fucked up, you need to teach them more modern slurs
As an expert of Italian-American on screen relationships I can tell you that nearly all relationships involving Italian-Americans are antagonistic and filled with creative, often hilarious, insults.
And movies are the best way learn facts, so this must be true
Like the movie Green Book, which is about how all stereotypes about African-Americans are wrong and harmful, but all stereotypes about Italian-Americans are true and good.
Sounds like my love language, to be honest. Insults are a love language, so is smartassery.
