[@kidnameless]

I’ll always love and respect _The Sopranos_ greatly for having the guts to unflinchingly tackle controversial topics - and doing so in a highly entertaining yet brutally honest fashion. That's a large part of why it's my favourite TV show. There was no sugar-coating or pandering; it wasn’t afraid to offend anyone if doing so was in service of the story it wanted to tell. That quality is becoming rarer and rarer every day. In that sense, I understand perfectly well why fans laud the series for depicting scenarios like this in the way that it does. On the other hand, I can’t help but feel that many viewers seem to enjoy it for all the wrong reasons. They fail to understand that the show is a scathing indictment of the mafia lifestyle, their flimsy ultra-conservative values, and their utter hypocrisy. We are not meant to support the bigotry of Tony and his goons. If they truly understood how miserable and ignorant these characters are, they would realize that the joke is on them. Seriously, just look at how everyone on this series ends up. Almost everyone on this show - including those not in the mafia - is a complete hypocrite in one form or another, in that they rationalize their compliance with evil and only espouse their values to the extent that it does not interfere with their own personal benefit. All this without even one mention of their innumerable crimes. The truth is that the viewer is tricked into rooting for and sympathizing with these horrid, monstrous people because we just so happen to be exposed to their villainy from within the inside of their circle. We too learn to rationalize their actions because we do not want to admit that their wickedness resonates with us. In that way, the series serves as a test - a mirror that reflects your own sense of morality and forces you to ask yourself some tough questions. That’s what makes _The Sopranos_ exceptional.

Good analysis. Yes indeed nearly everyone who watches the show has a soft spot for these characters, who could realistically murder them for stepping on their shoes out on the street and not think twice.

+Rico Conti the racism is an Italian stereotype. If you watch The Godfather, Goodfellas or even something as recent as Greenbook (you know... movies we’re the main character is Italian) it is a pretty big stereotype that Italians are racist specifically towards African Americans, so it wasn’t that the creators were racist it was simply an Italian stereotype they were putting on Tony.
