Reader Comment: Seriously fuck off bro

Expand full comment

As an Italian immigrant, with VISA, i find it very disturbing the WOP comment, something we had to bear from others. We, my family and i, were hard working, went to school and college on my orwn and loyalty was paramount in our family. Really do not like what these three are doing and for them to use their platform against a man i admire, President Trump, is not okay. The trio thinks they are strong and have the mob on their side, but they do not have Italians that want to get away from that awful image and are hard working citizens. We love America. We love President Trump and voted for him, my district was almost 60% for President Trump. These 3 do not represent Italians and the connotation of Wonder Bread WOPs is terrible.

Get over it. The term 'WOP' is from the 1880s and 1890s. I am a Son of Italy. My mother is 100% Italian descent and we're here 4 generations. We keep our traditions. Family, honor, and loyalty. We're not RATS like this crew.

Such crap. Using a slur to label any Italian American a WOP cancels any credibility you think you have. Italian Americans are Americans and your idea of how we should behave belongs to the idea that we have no free will to decide what we believe. Life for real Italian Americans is not the Godfather fantasy.

Plus, using the word 'CANCEL' tell us just who you are. That is the real slur. Go shave your head.

Get over it. As I said to another, WOP is from the 1880s and 1890s. The term is more of a historical relic than a slur. Virtue signal all you want while you twist open your jar sauce.
