Is that behind or beyond the line? I can never quite tell with racist based irony. Because it's still essentially using racist terms.

No shortage of said people there. Oh god - youve dragged me into your racist/ ironically racist dilemma too!

EDIT: I also just remembered that wop is actually a slur against italians, because I always associate it with Armando Iannucci who is scottish and thus with scottish people. Thus I thought you were being clever, which should have rung alarm bells to begin with.

where did you get that idea, wee man? Irony is a writing technique, and is in the majority of cases objectively, rather than subjectively, sardonic or counter-intuitive.
The audience often knows when someone is being ironic, not because they contrive to understand it that way, but because the style conveys irony. Your statement contained no irony.
But then, I can't be held responsible for blah blah internet insult.
