up the crime aspect of Italian heritage, forgetting all the rest. Sure, it peaked in the fifties for a very good reason: after that, JFK's work had crippled (though not eliminated) the Mob.
African-Americans have a similar bone of contention about depictions of them in gang films and that similar argument also has merit. Sure, you see Af-Ams in films holding respectable jobs, but in films they star in, it's invariably cops or robbers.
Moreover, I also dislike the continuing portrayal of the Holocaust: just about every script one could imagine has been filmed but they keep on comin'. Without a Palestinian-Israeli conflict one wonders how many less would have been made ("see... we were victims, too!").
Hollywood likes stereotypes, it wallows in them.
I imagine when the geezer generation dies off these things will pass. They certainly don't reflect modern society.
