The word is "dago, dagoes." Originally applied to Hispanic immigrants and derived from "Diego." Later applied to Italians and yet later, exclusively to Italians.
Disparaging in nature, rather like, "spooks" or "Yids."
You bigot.

"Orginally applied to Hispanic immigrants" my arse. Unless you count the Spanish Armada in that category. Englishmen have been calling Spaniards dagoes for many years (centuries?) even before that.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Re: Protestantism No Longer A Majority In USA
I have only heard the term "dagoes" used to refer to people of Italian ancestry. I have never heard it applied to any other group, but then I haven't surveyed everyone in the U.S.
