Originally meant ‘with-out papers’ and applied to more immigrants than just Italians at a time of wonderful racism in the Canadian nation. Perhaps he remembers that time fondly? I wouldn’t use it at a cocktail party but oh, they can make automobiles. Now then, as to the rust factor.

Ok we here rappers using the “N” word in their songs all the time, and in Movies made by black producers and directors they call each other the “N” word all the time. The LGBT Community members call each other the “F” word and “D” word all the time. How offensive is it really when its an Italian using the term WOP?? Come on Toronto Star…This was nothing that controversial or offensive.
