"When my grandpappy came here he took any job he could get. Sweeping floors, shining shoes. He was a God fearing, hard working, family man. My grandmother didn't speak a word of English, she was a saint, cooked a big family meal every Sunday like all the women did on her block in Little Italy. But these migrants, all they wanna do is take our jobs, cook their stinking food, speak their own language and live amongst each other! It's unamerican. We can't allow the values of our country to erode just because these lazy baby makers want our safe streets, and paved roads and good schools. If only Scalia was still alive. The last true American Supreme Court Justice." (Antonin Scalia, son of Salvatore Scalia of Sommatino, Sicily, and Catherine Panaro, 2nd generation Italian)

The mind is very good at dissociation when people have an "us vs. them" mentality.
Edit: what have I done

I like to constantly remind my uncle that his family came from ITALY when no one wanted “Sicilian gangsters “ here. His aunt demanded they change their last name because of prejudice and no one wanted “dirty Italians” taking their jobs. Don’t believe me?
