I assume it's the 'wop' you refer to, not the dumb because he is clearly dumb and I don't know what 'wop' is...some kind of racial slur, I guess.
@Emjay I forget now what the actual letters "WOP" stood for,but an Italian friend told me,and then explain it was what Italian people of a certain era had stamped on their papers at Ellis Island or maybe New Orleans. Maybe both.
Truth to tell it probably had more to do with them being Catholic than anything else,but I have forgotten what the letters were an abbreviation for.
Don't forget that the Protestants and the Catholics spent a couple of hundred years fighting each other for religious domination in Europe,and that the war hadn't been over long when people from Europe started coming to America.
Also don't forget that America was the only nation in the world at that time they didn't have a national religion.
