[SandisLL]

America suddenly became much more inclusive of Jewish and Italians

This.

You left out a key word in front of "America."

There are some theories on this, but it's quite controversial.

I give him a pass on the magic mushrooms since everyone else already cuts weight to gain a size advantage anyways

Italians moved into the middle class and boxing just lost its appeal. Same reason you don't see many Irish American boxers anymore. Or many Italian and Irish street gangs

well well after the depression irish got out of organized crime while the italians stayed they glamorized it it was cool to be a "wise guy" they would continue to this day if the feds didnt shut them all down

 

[SandisLL]

It is just stigmatization.
Nope, most likely majority turned into businessmans.

There's piece of history.
There is one prohibition on paper versus real life analysis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition_in_the_United_States

In 1930 the Prohibition Commissioner estimated that in 1919, the year before the Volstead Act became law, the average drinking American spent $17 per year on alcoholic beverages. By 1930, because enforcement diminished the supply, spending had increased to $35 per year (there was no inflation in this period). The result was an illegal alcohol beverage industry that made an average of $3 billion per year in illegal untaxed income.

is it that Italians have the fifth tendon but as they bred with the Irish they lost their athleticism? Because that's what I believe.

I've noticed that a few people have mentioned the occurrence of Irish, Italians, and Jewish elevating social class and status, but almost never mentioning how and why. And by "why" I dont mean why THEY did it, no one would refuse economic gain. But rather why it was allowed. Because you can rest-assured it wasnt merely a sudden change of heart of those who previously referred to them as paddies, micks, dagos, wops, etc.

And that was in the 70's. It was worse previously.
