I agree. In fact I consider myself something of a sexual Waluigi.

I myself long for the days when our outspoken Italian-American comics were Jewish guys who invented a new way to smoke cigarettes.

I was on a train in Italy about 15 years ago, and there was an Italian guy standing near the doors with a rolled up newspaper talking on the phone. I have no idea what he was talking about, but he was gesticulating so wildly and flinging his hands around so much that by the end of the call his newspaper was shredded. After he hung up, he looked at the newspaper and was absolutely dumbfounded. He had no idea how it got so annihilated.

Stugots! My culture can be your costume. Go nuts. I grew up with the Mario Bros. being an accepted thing (with a new movie making huge money and a Universal Studios land, no less) so Italian-face is just peak comedy to me.
