A "Guido" is not per se an Italian-American moreso than a practicing Italian, much like a religion. You'll find a Guido in any region.
A "Guido" will not take disrespect on any level without having a word about it. The "Guido" does not yell, but rather speaks loudly at all times. The "Guido" will travel with a mob of friends at all times. The "Guido" will speak in italics at all times. Italic is a style of speaking with stressors in each phrase, originating in Indo-European languages including Romance.
