Good Grief, Charlie Brown. We have lost our ability to laugh at ourselves. I am Italian. Nope, we are not all Mafiosos. Our "nicknames" are/were wop, daigo, guinea. So what do those words actually mean? Nothing, as far as I am concerned. (Wop is the noise you hear when an Eye-talian is thrown against a wall. The Ethopians said 'Never let a Daigo by.' If some called me a stupid ass, I might feel bad...Unless I was one at the time. ISO's jokes were a relief from a lot of sadness on the board. Time for this country to lighten up a bit and not take every single thing that is said to task and worry about who might be offended. I don't even know any "rednecks" but I had a good chuckle. I didn't think: Good for you, you redneck!
