3. The term is Sicilian-American - no Italian would even know what a "moulignon" is supposed to be

In Sicilian-American, it means "eggplant," which for some reason was applied to black people by Italian-American racists. They often even shortened it to "moolie" because they lack class and don't actually speak Italian. In Sicily some people will use the dialectical mulinciana or even mulignana, so you can see how mulignan' became a thing, but I'd bet even some people in Palermo would look at you funny if you used it to refer to an eggplant.

In Italian, eggplant is melanzana.

This Ingrassia is a typical doo da doo. There's a non-zero chance that he sprinkles his language with these fourth gen bastardized Sicilian dialectical words but can't speak an actual sentence of Italian.
