[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Wasp culture has become synonymous with UMC success. Can join a country club? Send kids to elite private? Do you “summer”? Live in the best enclave, with appropriate zoning? ( obviously this means no multi family dwellings ( exception: NYC) That’s wasp culture. Simply shorthand for making it.[/quote] No, it’s much more than that. No new money. Your family has to have been WASP’s for generations.[/quote] Yep, hence the comment above about the Bushes, Roosevelts, and Tafts being the only 20th century WASP presidents. Particularly the Bushes.[/quote] Not the Bushes, they're newish oil money. The Roosevelts for sure. There's a joke about FDR, that at his boarding school he was beaten up because he was small, then at reunions they hated him because he was a "traitor to his class" with the New Deal.[/quote]
