Aren't dagos Spanish?

As I understand it’s an ethnic slur towards Italians that originated when early immigrants had to travel by day for fear of being lynched, hence the name day-goers which evolved into Dago. Could also have applied to others but I’m not sure. Apparently Reddit is perfectly fine with slurs being thrown around at us, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

I thought it was just me. Take the slurs in this thread and replace them with slurs for Jews, African-Americans, Polish-Americans, etc. and I would think the ban would hit so fast that there'd be skid marks.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's mostly the micks doing it.
