Emphasizes how anachronistic little Italy has become and now Chinatown has taken over. The old ways are dying out and the new, non European MULTICULTURAL AMERICA is America

Yep. Sort of like Ghost Dog almost - the Mob dudes know they’re going extinct.

the whole show is about that. i agree it's one of the more subtle ones. i liked it when they tried to shake down a jamba juice.

the funniest part is he's not even Chinese and the founders of this country weren't Italian hahaha

for some reason he's happy about Chinatown overtaking Little Italy because he's a short loser who lives in a shitty NoVa 1-Br and doesn't have a family of his own? idk man

A couple years ago I watched the entire series over the course of a month or two. I literally don’t remember anything about it.

was more about how the mafia had strayed from being a hardcore sociocultural institution to a money making machine run by yuppies - exemplified by leotardo as "boss" getting undermined by his top capos who give tony the OK to kill him all because he wanted to prolong a war out of 'values' that was costing everyone money - than some screed about "multi cultural" america

right before he straddles into chinatown there's a tourist bus with a tour guide saying how little italy was so much bigger before. it's about how power of the mob has waned and how it's not about italians 'looking after our people' or about that line from tony about some italians not wanting to be good wagecucks for the 'rockefellers'. they sold out.

It was analagous to the show's theme. Little Italy being reduced to 'one square block' and the growing irrelevance and self-implosion of the mafia. He looked around and didn't recognize anything anymore. It was harsh, cold, foreign - he had wondered.

What had happened?

to Paulie it's the only scene, which of course tells you more about Paulie than the show

it's a top 50 scene for sure, probably in my top 10, but OP's argument for why it's relevant is retarded and wrong.

Lol yeah a bunch of crooked micks busted up the mob in the 70s and 80s and now the mobbed tied WASP POTUS who was raised from his childhood by the gay Jew mob lawyer and works closest with his Jew son in law from an insanely crooked Jew family and his wop dumbass personal lawyer who POTUS sends to personally bust up NATO and the UN by extension. These are somehow the most powerful people on the planet, but you’re right Paulie all the Pradeeps and their business intelligence and AI concentrations are the real power in America today or something.
