We have a small number of Italians but they blend in without any issue. They have generally been here for 3 or 4 generations. They don't have an enclave. They are usually mixed with Northern Euros and their phenotypes are diluted to the point that they aren't distinguishable. The only noticeable difference about them is they tend to be Catholic, but not always. Also some families have been in the restaurant and liquor distribution businesses for multiple generations. The "New Jersey Italian" stereotype of guidos and mafia doesn't exist here. Maybe it existed 50-100 years ago, but not for the past 30 years.
Yes. Some Italians do, and some remain within the ethnicity, when it comes to dating and marrying.
