I think many of you may not be grasping exactly why UNICO is upset. They are upset, not because MTV is making fun of the Jersey shore, but because they are flat out using a racial slur used to refer to Italian Americans to promote their show. You would never ever be able to promote anything about the craziest "N*****s, S**cs, F****ts, etc". The Italians and Irish are the only ethnic groups you can blatently make fun of and discriminate against in this country with no consequences. When are Italian Americans going to stop participating in these embarrassing and offensive stereotypes.
The Sopranos and this show are the reasons people dont believe my family is successful because of anything other than hard work and I have to constantly eal with comments about the Mafia. People have no problem talking to me like Im some dumb, uneducated broad who loves tanning and clubbing or calling me an Italian American Princess, guido or a greaseball.
I was immediately offended by this ad long before I heard that UNICO was protesting it. Its embarrassing and I hope they cancel this show
