Yes, exactly, it's the attitude. Tomboys can be hot. Michelle never beat anyone up in F&F.
Dom's crew from the first movie since that's what you mentioned:
No, just the illegal street racing and a souped up version of the car show scene. Sorry but on this subject, you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
Torretto isn't a common Italian name. It's also found in Spain and it's mostly found in South America.
So let's recap:
Dominic Toretto
Mia Toretto
Leon (Italian looking guy)
Letty Ortiz - Hispanic
Vince < white guy who betrayed the team
Brian O'connor < white guy sent to infiltrate and betray the team/'family'
Jesse < white guy, timid, weak
I see a pattern here.
Then the franchise gets 'enriched' with rappers-turned-actor and other Hollywoke-obsessed ethnic casting choices.
His brother in Fast 9 and 10 is literally played by John Cena who gets called "Potato Salad" as a nickname for being that bland.
This is severely autistic, the only question is whether you realize it

Italian Americans having a unique cultural heritage and history, that sets them apart from the Anglo-Saxon majority? In this time period Italian Americans were the big 'ethnic other' that you could use to show your multicultural bonafides. 'The Sopranos' was running from 1999 to 2007. The FF movie was released in 2001.
I guess I would ask why you insist on singling Italians out among white people?
