Rule No. 1 for the Sopranos and other ethnic mobsters who want to assimilate: Thou shalt not whack thy neighbour

James Fulford writes on the Vdare blog (Immigrants And Organized Crime, May 6, 2007):

When Steven Malanga refers to Tony Soprano as assimilated, he’s talking about externals. If the sons and grandsons of the modern Russian Mafia want to assimilate, I would suggest that they not do it by attending Ivy League colleges, or drinking coffee instead of tea, or playing high school football.

I would suggest that they assimilate by not whacking people. That’s not much to ask, is it?
