Being Italian American: Why Columbus Day Gives Me a Headache

You can make film after film and T.V. show after T.V. show focusing on every negative stereotype and caricature of Italian-Americans with impunity, and you can continue to ignore the great contributions Italian Americans have made to our society, as when Chirlaine McCray de Blasio ignored the results of a public poll and snubbed the winner, Mother Cabrini.
