Influenced by various mafia movies such as the godfather of later generations, as well as various mafia legends such as Al Capone and the Five Families, it is easy to give people the illusion that Italians are very good in the United States. .

But the fact is quite the opposite.

For quite a long time in the United States, the most unpopular white ethnicity was the Italians, not the Irish as many thought.

In almost all gangster movies, the gangsters are basically set as Italians, which in itself is a form of discrimination.

In addition, in the film Green Book, the police call the protagonist of Italian descent half-black, which is also a good illustration of the embarrassing situation of Italian-Americans in the United States at that time-half black, this American Anglo-Saxon descendant White slurs of Italians accompany Italians for nearly a century from the 19th to the mid-20th century.

So why do immigrants from Italy, once the center of European culture, encounter such a dilemma?

The reason is very simple. Most of the Italians who immigrated to the United States came from southern Italy.

Just as the United States has North and South, Italy also has North and South.

Northern Italy has developed industry and commerce, so it is relatively rich. In contrast, the south is more mountainous and has fewer resources, so it is basically poor.

The wealthy Italians in the north, if they want to immigrate, are basically not likely to choose the United States, but South America.

Because the wave of immigrants in Italy was relatively late compared to other European countries, the resource allocation of various ethnic groups in the United States had basically been finalized, so the wealthy Italians would rather choose the wider South America to develop, hire indigenous people and black people to pioneer the land, and be their own boss.

In contrast, poor Italians have no capital, so they choose to go to rich North America to work for the already developed Americans.

In other words, the Italians who come to the United States are all poor people with very low levels of education and education.

In addition, as a southern European, the ancestry of Italians is also relatively close to the Latin family, and the differences in appearance are more obvious.

Coupled with the fact that Italians like to live in groups, industrial workers, like to live in groups, low-level attributes, and low education levels, these attributes are combined, and it is easy for people to have bad associations.

At the same time, it has also led to Italians in the United States for a long time, can only do some low-level jobs, unable to reach the upper class.

The same thing that happened to the Italians was the Chinatown next door.

Especially during the period of President Coolidge, a 1924 Immigration Act was set up specifically for Italians.

This bill is not well-known, but its impact on Italian immigrants is no less than the Chinese Exclusion Act aimed at Chinese.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among a large number of Italians.

How to do?

Obviously, it's a gangster.

The mafia, which was originally a comparative system in Italy, was copied to the United States, and the results were surprisingly good. In addition to the original discrimination, Italians have since added a gangster attribute, and they are even more ostracized while being feared.

It is also under the influence of this reputation that Josie naturally has a sense of fear for the Little Italy neighborhood.

But after some hesitation, Josie decided to go in.

After all, the car he bought at noon was stolen in the afternoon. In his last life, he had never suffered so much grievance.

But before entering Little Italy, Josie lifted his collar, covered his face, and walked into a gun shop across the street.

Well, there are many gun shops, and sometimes it is quite convenient.

To enter the famous Italian area, Josie felt that only one M1911 was definitely not enough, and he had to get two Thomsons and spray guns, that is, shotguns.

Although he is a traveler and has never been a soldier in his previous life, Josie can use a gun.

Whether it was submachine guns, automatic rifles, bolt-action rifles, or shotguns, Josie spent a lot of money in shooting clubs when she traveled to Maoxiong in her last life, and also hunted in the Far East.

Not even in his previous life, Josie's predecessor, before his father died, was taken out to hunt, that is, the gun only used a rifle.

So I can't say I am proficient with guns, but at least I can use it.

Soon, Josie picked up a Chicago typewriter, the favorite of the Mafia, Thomson, in the gun shop, in addition to an M1918 Browning automatic rifle and a shotgun and the corresponding bullets .

Comes with a gun case.

It cost Josie nearly two hundred dollars.

After buying the gun, turn into the empty alley with the gun case, assemble the gun, and put it in the system warehouse together with the gun case.

After doing all this, Josie walked into the Italian area without any hassle.

Perhaps because of the broad daylight, although the streets in the Italian district looked a bit dirty and smelled of sewage, there were actually no gangsters doing nothing on the road, and there were still many differences from those black neighborhoods in later generations.

Although there are many gangsters of Italian descent, just like the Chinatown next door, there are more people at the bottom who are diligently working as coolies, and most of them are actually busy making a living during the day.

It's only confusing at night.

So Josie's preparations along the way were simply useless.

However, after patrolling the two streets, Josie was a little discouraged when he didn't find the car. It seemed that the other party was just passing through the Italian quarter.

However, just when Josie was about to give up, she suddenly saw the door of an old warehouse in the distance, showing half of the car's buttocks.

Josie looked around, made sure no one was paying attention, and then walked towards the warehouse.

As the distance got closer, he also saw the whole picture of the rear of the car, and the conspicuous scratch was on it.

At this time, he also heard the sound of conversations coming from the old warehouse.

Listen, Joe, this is just an old Ford from more than ten years ago. Even if it's on the second-hand market, it will sell for two hundred at most, and I have to deal with the joints, so I can only follow the old parts at most. The price is fifty for you, if you are not satisfied, go find someone else! said a slightly hoarse voice with a strong Italian accent.

Don't be like this, Mike, you should know how hard it is to do this job lately. Anyway, give me more, ten yuan, just ten yuan, how about it? Another slightly slick voice said.

Carefully approaching the warehouse, Josie could easily see what was inside.

There were two people inside, one was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean body and was covered in oil and oil, and the other was a slightly fat, short young man.

It was easy to tell from their conversation that the young man was the car thief, while the middle-aged man specialized in selling stolen goods and collecting black cars.

The various auto parts placed around this warehouse also indicate that this is a black car trading factory.

In addition to his old Ford, there was another car parked.

Soon, Josie's eyes were drawn to the car.

It was a famous Cadillac V16.
