Amazing, inasmuch as I've heard Jews call other Jews, Jews (and worse).
I'm part Scicilian (the old man tells me that's the better part...I won't tell you what Mom says about this) and in fraterinties, the Army, etc. it wasn't unusual for me to be called a WOP.
I'd return the compliment/insult (even with some of my Jew friends) and life went on.
What's the BFD?
I just did a Google on WOP and there are many references to it as a slur for Italians.
Italians can take it? Jews can't?
Not from my experience.
Thanks for the ping!
