I don't believe I have to say this but: Fredo is NOT an anti-Italian slur. It means a stupid guy who doesn't know he's stupid. Frequently used on non-Italians like Don Jr.

Ok, I'm not defending this, but, context does matter. Fredo is obviously mob reference to man whose father was Italian-American politician attacked in the day with that smear of all Italians. Again, doesn't excuse behavior. Just offering why this person took it as slur.

Fair enough. It's true Mario got smeared as "mafia" a lot.
