br> Peoria, Arizona /p> p> I would like to thank Mr. Tyrrell for taking Mr. Spielberg to task regarding his "Shark Tale," which uses the worst stereotypes of Italian Americans as mafia hoodlums. I believe it bears repeating that while there Italian Americans in organized crime, according to the Justice Department only .00025% of the country's estimated 26 million Italian Americans have ever had anything to do with crime. It's not too often if ever that we get help from the media in dealing with this gross stereotyping. Sincerely, br> -- Francesco Castellano br> Cambridge, Massachusetts /p> p> What would Spielberg think if a movie producer wrote about him? My heritage is Italian, and damn proud of it. The Godfather , The Sopranos -- may those who produced it drown in the red ragau when they eat it. br> -- Rosejean T. Castriota /p>
