Okay, so the Italian thing cracks me up. My bf is half Italian and half Puerto Rican. When my brother David asked me his nationality, I told him. David said "does he beat you." He was joking of course and no he does'nt
The interesting thing to me is my boyfriend's Italian family are not head heads. However, I would never cross his Puerto Rican Mom. I don't know maybe it's because his family is from Northern Italy.
