Interesting, I guess you have to be on the look out for some of that stuff to pick up on it. Probably some of the choices of casting and wording were based on these aspects of the book, but if you're not aware of them, they don't really stand out. In hindsight, I guess it's obvious that Kay doesn't look like the other women in the family. As someone who considers Italians to be "white", it never really stood out to me as notable (aside from the fact that she was unfamiliar/uncomfortable with the family business). I also never would have associated going to war or going to college as rebelling against being Italian, just seemed like a normal thing for a kid to want to do. Probably you view some of these things differently if you've read the book...
