"I think they should have hung in there. It's just giving in to the politically-correct crowd, that's all it is."
Guess he didn't want it to be named the "Tancredoburger" after all, which makes sense unless he had created the burger in the first place.
Oops, typo in the title...I meant “Tancredo”, not “wop”.
At least they had the good sense not to name it the nappy-headed burger.

WOP = WITH OUT PAPERS
As a proud grandson of WOPs I need to try one of these to see if they're worthy! :-)
I would have just told the PC masses that “WOP” stands for “without pickles.” Then I’d have told them to STFU.
How do you get rid of that stupid ad over the text of the article?
Huh?
The burger was the “wopburger” and could have been the “tancredoburger”, since the Congressman must really like the wopburger. I misspelled Tancredo’s name as “Tancerdo”.
Good to see she changed her mind. Last week she told Rosen that she was going to cave.
Its always just one loud mouth, bug in the butt troublemaker.
Isn't that always the way
Some mid-60’s frat humor at UCLA:
What sound does a helicopter make?
WOP WOP WOP
The names we called each other based on our ethnicity back then would get everyone thrown off campus today. It was all good natured fun. We had several WOPS (of which I was proudly one), a Chink, several Micks, two Spicks, and lots of others.
Nobody took offense and it was part of the group bonding. Now that I think of it, we even had one Kike.
If you didn’t like it you threw it back in the other guy’s face. But the society hadn’t become feminized yet.
Does this mean I can’t let the kids roast “Mickeys” over the campfire anymore?????
This is a new one to me. What is a Mickey when it’s being roasted over a camp fire?
Is that the same as “undocumented alien”?
This reminds me of the (stupid) old joke about Italian tires....called Dago’s. Dago in the snow, dago in the mud, dago in the sand and when dago flat dago wop,wop,wop!
Nobody took offense and it was part of the group bonding.
In the early sixties, I had an Italian friend who came to SoCal from New York. He made it clear that that was how New Yorkers' ethnic communities bonded. The Italian would be the first to tell an Italian joke, a Jew the first to tell a jewish joke, etc. Their sharing of stereotypes was humorous glue. BTW, an Irishman from Manhattan joined our little group, and the two of them talked of playing "WOPS and Cops."
It used to be a good country.
I’d like to think it can be again.
