But you're a doctor! So you're close hehe

[rouletteroulette]

No, I don't fit.

Well, that's just culturally insensitive.

There's more to being a paisanu than cosa nostra and living with your mother forever. At least, I'd like to think so.

[And yes, we got the word from the Spanish period.]

I didn't know those stereotypes. Except by traditional, mama's boy and loves food.

Oh! And...Do you speak with your hands? lol

[rowneigerie]

I do... but that's not exclusively "our" thing anymore. It's spread to a lot of New Yorkers who aren't Italian. The wonderful thing about our city is that we share aspects of our cultures. People have noted that I know more about Judaism and their culture than most Jews.

Needless to say, I have a hard time keeping my hands at my sides when I talk, especially about something I'm passionate about.

Most Mexican talk with their hands too, at least I do a lot. I think that's a general Latin thing.

[shodulsilfeli]

They say people from Alentejo (southern Portugal) are lazy. I fit that one nicely.
I like fish... i can't think of anything else. I don't know what stereotypes we have.
