what? wait? why is goomba referred to italians? o_o in.. in what way at least? I mean, how badly should I feel offended?

I just did a quick google on it to find you "something" - apparently according to the Urban
Dictionary it has also been used as a slur against Jewish people. I don't have any facts to back this up, I merely know it because my family is Sicilian and...well..it is just known.

EDIT: this one might be more convincing to those who are not aware. The site doesn't look all that great, but the fact that this even pops up in a google search should back me up here.

Why can't my workmates be this fun?! If I put any of them in a barrel (while they would be impressed I could lift any of them), they'd file all kinds of grievences against me....

I want to be stuffed in a barrel only if it was half full of Sake . Unfortunately there are no barrels in my office where I work.

It sounds like "Cumpà!", a Sicilian way to call each other. I think that in English it could be misunderstood with "Goombah", so it would be explained. I don't feel insulted at all, it's not even an insult.

P.S.
And not all Italian people are from Sicily, maybe just 10%.

Please see my edit with the second site I found.

Direct quote from that site: Considered a slur when used by non-Italians to describe an Italian male.

I know this... my family is considered Sicilian and not Italian. I am merely pointing out the slur.

EDIT: Something very important to note here - if you live in Italy or Sicily, you may not realize that here in America non-Italians use it as a slur. And I'm not trying to accuse the poster of being racist or anything, he may be Italian himself - a lot of times people "just didn't know".

[Teloc]

While I technically survived meteor. I think i will let my current duder get lost in the time travel warp and be stuck in the realm beyond. Mostly cause me and a few friends are going to start over from scratch. That being said...I STILL WANT ONE!
