No need to scream, I'm not stupid, thanks.
It is totally different. I don't think he meant it directly at his nationality either, I think that he was defining how they operate as in a black market/illegal kind of way. i don't think that they necissarily were.
But when you say NAZI, there is no doubt what you are talking about.
The fact that he didn't mean his nationality is something I hope, but it doesn't make it less offensive.
Anyway, even if mafia is spread all over the world, the mafiosi will always remain the Italians. And it hurts, you know? Also because, as I already said, Mafia is still a plague here.
Ah, and "Nazi", as Mafia (=operate as in a black market/illegal kind of way), can be have another meaning. For example, I'll have you know that my mom calls me a Nazi for how I make my little brother behave.
