WOP is an acronym for (With Out Papers) The immigration labeled the Itallian immigrants with a paper with this acronym wriiten on it and it stuck.
and yes Northern Itallians look down on the Sicilians (Southern Itallians) similar to the way a white racist looks upon a black person here. I remember my Great Grandfather going on and on about it.
I am Itallian but you would never know it as my heritage is from the Florence area in Northern Italy. I have blue eyes and light hair and fair skin. Not all itallians are Greasy Guidos, lol.
