My Dad the racist guy (product of his time and the horrid place we lived) used to consider someone like Bongino "Half".

No idea… i honestly had to ask “Hold up that’s Dan Bongino”… It came up because my coworker made a comment that “the FBI deputy is Black”… I disagreed thinking he was referring to Kash and so-called corrected him that Kash is the director and that he was something other than Black… he pulled up the picture of Dan… than informed me that Dan was publicly “passing” in 2025.. than the conversation (somehow)went to would Carlos Marcello consider Dan Italian

I think his mom was Puerto Rican and his dad Italian (not 100% sure about this). Also on his podcast he did mention that his dad changed the last name from Bongiovanni to Bongino. Bongiovanni was just too long apparently.

According to Bongino himself, he's Italian and Irish.

I'm a musician, and Dan's mother used to come in to see me perform in Glendale, NY. She was as white as I am, and I'm an Irish Potato. She fell down the stairs getting to the basement and died no too long ago.

Depends on what part of Italy he’s from, north or south. If south see coolpapaboze reply pic. For reference see the movie: True Romance.
