Here's a press release (registration required) for an Italian-American advocacy group protesting a Nickelodeon cartoon for mob stereotypes. The cartoon in question is based on a children's book by Steven Schirippa -- Bobby Bacala from "The Sopranos" -- and is about a kid who visits his Italian grandma and uncle in Brooklyn and, yes, there's crime and gangster stuff. The group is upset about the stereotype, but are they saying that there AREN'T Italian mobsters in Brooklyn? Do they think everyone assumes all Italians are in the Mafia?
