As someone born in Rome, whose given name at his baptism in St. Peter’s was Marcantonio, who had a relative in the mob, & who loves Roman history as much as The Godfather and Goodfellas, I would like to submit my credentials as an Italian-American. “Fredo” ≠ N-word. Not at all

So all I will say after watching this is I've never heard someone try to equate calling an Italian "Fredo" with calling a black person the n-word. twitter.com/yashar/status/…

Replying to @MarcACaputo

To paraphrase John Mulaney: “Do you know how I know it’s not equal to the N word? We’re saying the word “Fredo” and we’re not even saying what the N word is. If you’re comparing the badness of two words and won’t even say one of them, that’s the worst word!”
