Hey, thanks, I don't normally deal in these types of Slurs, but tonight it was very much in need.

Ok: English = Limey

Irish = Mick

Now, did I get the Mexican correct? or should that be "Wetback" and Italian the "Spick".

I let these things just roll of, like water on a ducks back.

Oh, I lived in Italy growing up and can help you there. They're "wops." (My childhood to now best friend and my brother-in-law are both of "wop" heritage and sometimes refer to themselves as that...LOL)

Mexicans are "spics" or "wetbacks" depending on when they came here.

Yes, those things roll off my back as well. When we were teenagers, my best friend and I used to call each other "Wop" and "Mick" more than we used our real names. And my best friend's boyfriend was "Polak." My boyfriend was a Mick like me, so we called him "Paddy."

Political correctness just programs people to be thin-skinned.
