quote:

The older Cuomo sibling called into WAMC radio to discuss a variety of topics, including a recent New York Times opinion piece headlined, “How Italians Became ‘White.” The governor used the uncensored version of the N-word when discussing the Times piece. “They used an expression that Southern Italians were called, I believe they were saying Southern Italians, Sicilians – I’m half Sicilian – were called, quote-unquote and pardon my language, but I’m just quoting the Times: ‘n—r wops,'” Cuomo said without censoring the word.



I'm sure the mass condemnation from the left will commence any second now.

Of course because it offends certain people when anyone says it, right?

Certain people with their faux outrage. Comically ridiculous

Why do the Kurds need us when it is highly apparent that mere words will kill people and divide them?

Ironically if he traveled to Sicily he would be classified as an American.

That's one of the best movie scenes ever.




Is Cuomo talking about "Fredo," or just about the fact that his great great great grandmother loved the BBC

I don't like the guy but I have no problem with this. I don't agree with using that word towards any person/group but if you are discussing the word itself it should be fine in that context.

I'be never heard that one either but I'm always impressed by how much better northerners know the South than we do.

I’ve heard it buts been years and years ago and it was used by Italians from Northern Italy to make those Southern Italians feel less worthy. Primarily because the South was Mafia based versus the north willing is more affluent.
