Interesting. I've never heard that idiology before. I've always heard it's cause the mafia comes from Sicily so Italy just looks down on the whole region.
Not to mention there's a whole world of difference in the way Italy and Sicilay is even with customs etc.. now. Italy has become VERY, VERY westernized. I'd say from Rome north it's all very much like the U.S. but they speak Italian.
Sicialy on the other hand is still VERY old fashioned and much like Italy was 50 years ago. The way they dress, the economy, there family values etc.. it's all very different than the north. And sadly it's mainly all cause the mafia has such a stranglehold on Sicily that it keeps it economically backwards. Sicily does not have the same economic infrastructure that the north has and therefore it grows and changes with the rest of the world at a snails pace.
This is all the impressions I've been given whenever I visit.
Note: I do mention to all my girls friends that "techniqually" I do have black in me.....and they'll find out where later, HEHEHE
