I've heard that sometimes people call Italian Americans wops. Do you know why?

Yes. The word 'wop' is an ethnic slur used to insult Italian Americans. It is said to be derived from the abbreviation of the Italian phrase "worst ordines procurvat" which translates to "the poor worst ordered." Some people also suggest that it is derived from the Italian phrase "guappo" meaning 'cool' or 'handsome'. Regardless of the origins, the word has been used historically to demean Italian Americans and it is still considered offensive when used today.
