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

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.

My brother in law was 100% Sicilian, my sister didn't mind if you called him a dago, but if you called him a wop she would get fighting mad...He was a sweetheart, I loved him dearly.

Illegal mexicans were wetbacks from swimming the rio grande.

I married a Polock and he told the best polock jokes. To this day a wallet full of singles he called a polish bankroll...I think of him every time I get a bunch of singles in my wallet....he passed on over 20 years ago...

Guess I lived a sheltered life, your's sounded much more fun. I forgot about the "Wops", getting old.

The only thing I do HATE, is PC. There is no sense of humor in this world anymore. I still remember when Queer meant Queer/weird, now they are all happily gay. Oh well.
