And if I could be candid, what's the point in hating?
What's the difference between Muslim Arabs, Jews, and Italian Americans?
Pretty much nothing. I know from experience in my family.
Plastic on the sofa. Plump mother figure, bossing everyone else around even though the culture is machista. Cecci/Garbanzos/Hummus (take your pick),
EATING BIG MEALS, tight-fisted when it comes to money - but good at being frugal!, passive-agressive parenting...it's all there.
Example from my family: if you don't want to do something and someone in your family asks you if you want to do it and you say that you do not or
cannot, an Italian, a Jew and an Arab will all give this totally dissatisfied face, like of disgust and disappointment and even if you "change your
mind" and say "OK, I'm gonna do it" they'll say "No, no, that's alright, don't come" but still give you the disappoiinted face.
So, what is the big difference after all?
