I think part of it stems from the fact that both the Irish and Italians (as well as many other immigrants since) tended to live in close-knit neighborhoods, which created pockets for ‘their own kind.’ As you know from living in Philly, these neighborhood identities still remain in many places. Stereotypes and feelings about other people can last just as long, whether they are warranted or even understood.
