My nephew (16, Italian Catholic) and his girlfriend (17, Jew) were at my house when they got into a bizarre argument, the exact causes of which I could not ascertain. She called him a “filthy papist bastard” and a “person of pasta” he replied with something about her still falling over herself for “dago cock” and called her a “fucking red sea pedestrian”

Unsure how to proceed, would teaching them about the 1929 Atlantic City conference and the national crime syndicate be a good way to inspire them to bridge their divide?
