"The Untouchables also drew controversy for its stereotyped ethnic characters. The Italian-American community protested the series' use of Italian names for criminal characters. The Capone family also brought a million-dollar lawsuit against producer Desi Arnaz for using the Capone likeness for profit. This was particularly upsetting for Arnaz, a classmate and friend of Al Capone's son." http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/U/htmlU/untouchables/untouchables.htm http://www.geocities.com/alcus2/untouch.html “The Untouchables” faced criticism and modifications back in the good old days because the Italian-American community thought the series unfairly stereotyped it as gangsterish.

Frankly, it's not a perspective I thought of on my own, and I'm so glad someone brought it up. I'm been thinking about the appeal of shows like the Sopranos and how no one seems to think there's any harm in it, but I didn't connect this to all the talk about Hip Hop.
