Gov. Andrew Cuomo is stirring up controversy by using the N-word during a live radio interview in New York.
The New York Post reports Cuomo was on the air with Albany’s WAMC Public Radio Tuesday when he was asked about criticism of Columbus Day and efforts to rename the holiday Indigenous Peoples Day. The governor brought up a recent New York Times op-ed about the treatment of Italian-Americans and spoke about racism.
“They used an expression that southern Italians were called, I believe they were saying southern Italians, Sicilians — I’m half Sicilian — were called, quote-unquote and pardon my language, but I’m just quoting the Times: ‘n----r wops.’ N-word wops, as a derogatory comment,” Cuomo told host Alan Chartock.
The racial epithet was uncensored and heard clearly by listeners.
“When I said that ‘wop’ was a derogatory comment, that was when the Times-Union told me, no, you should look in Wikipedia, ‘wop’ really meant a dandy,” Cuomo continued.

Why are so many NY Italians named Tony?
They arrived with a tag that read: “ToNY.”
I heard that “wop” was an abbreviation of “without passport.” Supposedly many of Italian immigrants at Ellis Island did not have passports.
That was awesome that scene, Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper were amazing, I love that laugh Walken does. James Gandolfini is standing in the background playing one of the thugs.
But Prince Andrew is a Democrat so move along folks nothing to see here.
Wop has been used as a derogatory term for years, but if you’re Italian, you’ll just have to accept it. You are not a specially privileged individual.
Maybe it isn’t Fredo who is the dumb one.
Like Daygo - getting paid as the day goes, nothing to do with ethnicity.
LOL!
These Cuomo brothers have less brains combined than a raccoon !
I'd prefer the raccoon running the state.
Would love to see either Rudy or Eric Trump take him on!
He probably demanded that Papa John’s CEO be ousted.

This is perfectly fine. He was quoting others in an historical context.
In the project veritas videos yesterday, a smug libtard CNN worker was filmed mocking Foxnews on election morning by saying they were probably ecstatic...and he held up his hands and said...”yay more rascism....”
Find that guy and get his reaction to cumo’s comment...
I bet libtard would defend cumo to the end of the earth.
The left are the racists!!!
My husband said it means “without papers.” He is Italian.
With Christopher Walken and a bit roll by a James Gandolfini,it's one of maybe a top one hundred movie dialogues or poignant moments of all time.
i believe the term is eggplant...
Cuomo demonstrates his inbred racism and that of his party.
