> Whether he meant to or not, Scorscese has branded Italian-Americans.I assume you're talking about Goodfellas/Scorscese, or Godfather/Coppola.
No, I think Al Capone did most of that. Go to the internet movie database and check out all the mafia movies and TV shows before the Godfather. They peaked in the early 50's, the Godfather just resurrected the popularity of those types of shows. While you're there type in "Mafia" and check out all the Italian TV shows and movies on the topic.

...if you asked 100 Americans ***today*** this question I suspect the Godfather would come in on the top.Personally I don't think there has been any significant branding.
