The Wanderers-- ethnic origin of Ducky Boys?

Does anyone know what the ethnic origin of the Ducky Boys was in the movie The Wanderer?

Someone I know asked that question, but I didn’t notice anything in the movie that would give a clue, nor can we find any information on this anywhere online.

So, what better group of people to ask than the SDMB crowd? :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance.

I had the impression they were Irish, and that they’re going after the Italians because they’re pissed off about the JFK assassination and think the Mob was involved. Could be wrong.

Thanks, Baldwin. It sounds likely to me.

I don’t have the book, and I didn’t pay enough attention at the time when I saw the movie. Though I remember the fight scene, those details escaped me.

I kinda though Irish too… although I think they weren’t so much an ethnic gang as a economic one.
