WOP isn’t derived from a BAD Italian word. Not a very complimentary one either.

But only a ####ing moron would think it’s not been used as a derogatory term forever now.

SMFH

And I don’t know WHO THE #### told him it meant a “dandy” but it wasn’t anyone who knows the Italian language or culture AT ALL.

And no it NEVER meant WithOut Papers

“True Romance”. Dennis Hopper’s last scene.

And so what? The governor of Virginia dresses in black face.

Racism is just considered hip in the liberal circles.

I cannot imagine why he can’t use that word and in that context. Have we all gone insane?

Bad as that word is to use in polite company and much as I loathe Cuomo, I’ll defend him on this since he wasn’t using it to deride black people but, instead, to show how Italians were treated and he was using it in quotes. That being so, it was an appropriate use of the word, which definitely shouldn’t be banned from the English language.

“FOP” means a dandy.
Not “WOP”.

Italian Air Force has no helicopters because the big blade goes “wop-wop-wop” and the little blade goes “guinea-guinea-guinea.”

Andrew Cuomo, the guy who created the slogan “Vote for Cuomo not the homo” when his father was running against Ed Koch who was never proven to be gay. THIS guy is lecturing us about tolerance.

Cuomo said he was quoting the NY Times and asked the pardon of his listeners.

He’s just explaining history, which isn’t always nice.

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.

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.

He probably demanded that Papa John’s CEO be ousted.
