I honestly don't know what are you trying to get at from this post, as for the Albanians race it is white and has been since the start as they are direct descendants of the Illyrians who lived in the Balkans long before the Serbs came. Don't even mention Milosevic who was a war criminal known for committing genocide on innocent civilians. Also why are you mentioning random people like that, if they own a Granite shop they most likely work hard and live off that family business, as there is no Albanian OC presence on Canada as far as I know.

During the 90s war in Balkans , all the sides committed genocide on innocent civilians. And yes human trafficking is huge in Kosovo , you can literally buy a girl for 3000-4000 euros , everyone in Belgrade know who is doing it. Same as everyone knew that Velja and Mare were cutting people heads off and filming it all , organized crime in Balkans is "public secret" , everyone knows everything.

Albanians are like Southern Italians and Greeks, so they're most definitely white imho.
Adding to this, there are a lot of Serb and Montenegrin people that are just as "Mediterranean" looking as Albanians are. So to say that for instance Yugoslavians are "white" and Albanians aren't, doesn't really make sense afaic.

Of course, to the average Stormfront commenter who's of Celtic-Germanic stock, Albanians won't be regarded as "white" but to them even Southern Italians and Greeks aren't white.

Where I live, there are quite a few Albanian people and in all truthfulness I can say that the vast majority of them - like the vast majority of Italians, Greeks, Turks, Kurds, Moroccans, etc... over here as well - are hard working people with a very strong sense of business. Of course there's Albanian organized crime, but they're a minority and don't cause trouble for the average person.

For instance, a friend of mine, who has origins in Kosovo, got his higher education, has a good job in the sales department and on top of this he runs his own taxi company during the weekend as well.

It always cracks me up when some local "white" guy over here is complaining about "those damn Moroccans bleeding our welfare dry! " when he himself stopped working full time when he was only 36 because of some bullshit "lower back pains" LOL.

Anyway, this is a forum to discuss organized crime and I don't see the point of turning this into a discussion board on race relations.

What I will say is this; I will ALWAYS respect a man when I feel he is deserving of getting respect...whether he's White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern or Polynesian...Christian, Jewish or Muslim...a person's ethnic background or his religion won't play a factor in whether I'm going to like and respect that person or not.
If anyone else feels different about this...well, I'm not going to be able to change someone else's opinion and I don't see use in trying to, but this is the way I view things and that's not going to change.

A 34-year-old Albanian who was liquidated in Ecuador on January 22 was one of the main leaders of the cocaine trade to Europe and part of Asia, according to Interpol. According to authorities, Ergys Dashi, riddled with more than 20 bullets, was one of the links between the Albanian and Russian mafia in South America.

The Ecuadorian newspaper El Comercio wrote on Thursday that Dashi was fired on by gunmen in a restaurant in the city of Guayaquil and died on the spot from the hail of bullets. He was riddled about 7 p.m. on the particular Saturday night when two gunmen, one of them carrying a bouquet of flowers, entered the restaurant. A 26-year-old woman was also injured in the attack.

Ergys Dashi was arrested by Italian police in 2014 along with 31 other suspects in a major investigation into an Albanian drug clan , according to Albanian media . Twelve of them were sentenced to prison terms. The criminal organization, of which Dashi was a leader, trafficked large quantities of drugs in Albania, Spain and Bolivia, and then distributed them all over Italy. The group was also involved in forced prostitution and illegal possession of weapons.

Albanians, Southern Italians and Greeks have many genetic and even cultural similarities, despite of course the prevalent Ottoman influence on Albanian culture. Generally I've seen Italians and Albanians to get along quite well and with the Italian criminal organizations being the number one players in European organized crime and Albanian criminal organizations being big players as well it's not strange that these factions would find each other. After all, in European organized crime there's not much of an ethnic war going on and almost all underworld hits are a direct result of internal feuds.

As far as Italian and Albanian crime groups being at odds in NYC...I don't really read a lot about this. Last time something like that seem to happen is when the Rudaj group ran wild, but those were more like former LCN associates who decided to go rogue.

Albanians lasted as long as the Russians and ch*nks...As soon as their leadership got pinched, they all folded

I think about 20% of Albanians are catholic.

The ones I know locally are they have old world values similar to old school Italians.
They are STUBBORN as fuck.

I have mistakenly taken them for Italians.

Is that just in Italy, or all over Europe?
