Wops is as bad to Italians as the N word is to black people. Not very nice. Minus click for you.

And you think I would care for what reason?
A frog is a frog, a kraut is a kraut, a wop is a wop, a camel-jockey is a camel-jockey, a ginger is a ginger, a slope is a slope, and my best mate, being black, and called Mickey, is Eff-Mick.

I am "albino rasta", "light-boy", "paleface", Rosbif (in France) and others, depending on company, and I don't care. To be honest, most of the dodgier names I get called are when I am in Hackney as I tend to be the only white in the group I know.

Incidentally, I work with most races/religions, exchange abuse with the lot of them the same way we exchange abuse with Scots, Irish, Welsh, other people from different regions in the UK, and I also count them as friends.

Not a day goes by without my Northern-ness being abused. Nor does a day go by without a crack at the my Arab colleague exploding with rage, or the guys from East Anglia having webbed feet and a distinct lack of intelligence.

Mockery and abuse is character building and helps integration. It's only when it is constant and becomes bullying that there should be a problem.

By the way, my wife is nicknamed "the wop" and I am nicknamed "monkey" (as in Northern). And, finally, I would have expected someone reading the post to have seen the affection I have for Italians.

Perhaps my constant exposure to and dealing with people across Europe, Mid-East, Africa and Asia when at work (everywhere bar the US, really) gives me a certain incorrectness with my language. Not that I care.

So, finally, fuck off! Oh, and having looked at your profile, have you considered posting a story? You're an idiot.

I agree
The best way to stop racism is to justify it.
