In one of the bluest states in the country, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is being accused of racial discrimination against one of America’s most iconic ethnic groups.

Boston’s North End is home to some of the oldest generations of Italian immigrants in the United States. The cantinas and trattorias, which generations of Italians continue to run throughout the waterfront quarter, draw thousands from all over the country for the authentic fare and ethnic culture they serve up.
