No need to apologize ...
WOP simply means With-Out Papers ... nowadays referred to as "undocumented guest worker" ... and can be applied to any immigrant.
But ... guinea, zip, greaseball, guido, dago, spaghetti-bender, jadrool, sfaccime, and garlic face are definitely offensive ... and should not be used under any circumstances.
