Juan Hernandez called folks like yours WOPs today On Shep’s show.

I saw that segment. Being Italian, I perked up at the wop thing, and laughed about it. I didn't care that someone used that word. Amazing how we European decendants don't find stuff like this offensive.

Anyway, I did get a little miffed when I realized that a Mexican was saying it and would be one of the first jerks in front of a camera yelling and screaming if some illegal Mexican was called "wetback" or "spic" or whatever.

We Irish raise a toast to those who call us drunks.

An Italian guy in San Francisco (who now has an Italian restaurant) some years ago opened a Mexican food place across the street.

His wife was telling me about this when I mentioned how good the food was at the Mexican place.

She said when he opened up the place, he named it Wop’s Wraps.

The city came down on them and made them change it.

Grate food at both places!
