the WW2 Wasp would have had

Obviously you never had an Irish grandmother that grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Detroit who was fond of using such terms as "Wasp", "Dago", "Wops", "Kike", and other such terms relating to one's nationality that have long since been dropped from the vernacular of everyday speech........

I'm perfectly aware of the diversity aboard that ship and all the others, I was merely attempting to use a bit of wry humor here........sheesh

Dear Hot— Nope didn’t grow up there or near there to hear those terms. So the moslems in Detroit let your grandmother use those terms about them?
