I worked with an Italian guy (I am half Italian) whose last name was one letter away from being pronounced, “I am a dego”. So of course everyone called him Imadego. He almost threw me down the stairs one time. Apparently he hated it.

I always assumed Italians like being compared to mob characters and embraced the terms like wop and gumba.

So Fredo is a racist slur?

I love the replies to all of his tweets. Everyone is posting Godfather gifs of Fredo.

I guess the insult digs deep at Chris as he knows he is the lesser brother in his family.

The effort to turn "Fredo" into a racial/ethnic slur is absurd. It's obviously a slur reserved for idiot brothers. If he wants to be offended about that, have at it. Just stop pretending that the Italian element is anything more than incidental.

When you play the game that the most important thing about a person is their ethnic/racial background this is what you are going to get.

Maybe they were calling him Fredo because he accidentally ate the key to a strongbox.

It’s silly. We’re all way too sensitive and easily offended. Some groups have a right to be quite a bit upset at certain terms. But I laugh when Italian American groups get offended by shows like the Sopranos.

I finished reading that book about the Black Hand. What Italians did to other Italians at the end of the 19th Century is unforgivable. They earned their reputations.

as a one eightish italian. fredo has never been a slur of some sort. That said, I have no problem with the way cuomo handled this troll.

It's more than incidental to use it on the Cuomos, but it's definitely about being the failure of the family.

Yeah his first response to the guy was in reference to the term signifying weakness. I don't think the guy meant it as an ethnic slur but if he used it to insinuate that Cuomo was a weak man then thats still a problem.

this is brilliant . . . just brilliant. love the height. should have put width as well.

One of my favorite aspects of The Sopranos was how they dealt with the vestiges of anti (working class) Italian sentiment on the East Coast.

Maybe he said "Fredda," which is his way of owning the word, re-claiming or re-appropriating it.

For the rest of his life he'll be called Fredo. With all the gloomy news, finally some good news.

Hell, at this point it'll probably be in the opening sentence of his obit.

John Cazale who played Fredo only lived to 42. All films he was in were nominated for best picture. Childhood buddy of Al Pacino. Dating Meryl Streep at the time of his death. Gifted actor who played a loser. Fredo Cuomo is just a plain loser.
