Dave, everything you said applies to every culture.
Young black kids that act like thugs make African Americans look bad.
Young Mexican kids that act like gangsters make Mexican Americans look bad.
Bros and white trash make "white Americans" look bad.
etc.
Every culture has a stereotype. People that live up to that stereotype, and are proud to do so, make their culture look bad.

It happens to everyone, every day. Whooptie fucking doo. Why you Italian peeps are so much more up in arms about it than everyone else... Beats me.
* = Except for Asians. Being good at math is a good stereotype to live up to.
