It's no surprise director Frank Capra made Potter an anti-immigrant racist--Capra ("goat" in Italian) immigrated from Sicily with his family as a child. There's a good reason Mr. Martini is presented in such a positive light in the story as a sympathetic friend of George's.

And when George moves Martini’s family to their new home, there’s a goat in the back seat.

In the companion guide book, it mentions how that term was deemed acceptable for the final script, yet others as, "nuts", "jerk", and "pulling the chain" were struck.

My Mom, who is of Sicilian American stock like Capra, always would get so mad at Potter for this line!
