So basically anything that is not WASPY is tacky?

DCUM - the WASPs' last gasp.

Donald 'Drumpf' Trump is definitely not a WASP.

At the end of the day it's all about how much money is in the bank account, where your kids go to college, their careers, who your kids marry.

Nobody gives a sh-t about your decorum if you don't have a pot to p-ss in and your kids are slackers - while you think you're fooling anyone with a dumpy house and old Volvos because you have no work ethic.

I don't think WASP has meant much for 20 years. Silicon Valley billionaires, Hollywood and Wall St Jews, oil & gas, and the military industrial complex runs the world. WASP seems to mostly mean middle class wannabes who think they look classy in pastel Vineyard Vines and Brooks Brothers blazers, who are too dumb for an Ivy or Duke, so they end up at some second tier private college.

Dook is a four letter word. Not a ton of wasps left in New Jersey so the univ of nj at derm ain't the wasp destination of preference. Williams, Princeton, Middlebury and Trinity are better picks for that.

Looking at my prep's graduating class from 20 years ago, more often than not the exclusive LACs churned out primary and secondary educators and insufferable non profit working Prius owners.

No, being called a "WASP" or having people think they're "upper-klass" is what these wannabes want. Perception is reality or something like that. They're the antithesis of WASP's traditional definition of "high-status and influential White Americans of English Protestant ancestry. The term applies to a group who control disproportionate financial, political and social power in the United States," even if they are Protestant and have English ancestors.

It's all an illusion. "They" control very little anymore — except perhaps the Maidstone Golf Club.

Correct. There are some hanging on for dwarf life, but it's not the party it used to be.... Money is gone and society has changed. If the money is not gone now, it will be soon.

I guess y'all didn't make it to Some of the high end getaways this summer. Still lots of blond, lots of money and lots of conn, ny, DC, east coast old school types living in or renting extremely expensive places. The difference between now and the "old days" is that Mrs. Wasp also went to a good undergrad and then a quality grad school. There are surely new entrants that didn't get a shot before but you are nuts if you think that the contents of the upper crust have changed that much.

Of course there are wealthy people. And wealthy people with taste summer in the top tier enclaves. To act like this lifestyle is dominated by WASPs is just naive.

Actually, you don't get it. The point is that in the past they did not rent anything. They owned significant land and ran the place.

Now it is far far far more diverse and mostly new wealth.
