[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.  At least at the inception that’s what it stood for. [/quote]

As noted earlier in the thread, term has roots in the Ku Klux Klan.[/quote]

There really is a divide between northern and southern WASPs.  As a northern WASP (who doesn’t really identify bc I don’t like the culture), I really don’t know any southern ones.  We are New England types, very old money, but we do hunt (on horseback, not w/ guns).[/quote]

Agree, as a fellow NE WASP. Part of it I think is the definition of the P. I think NE WASPs would generally consider Protestant to be mainline high Protestant religions (Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, etc). A lot of the Southern faction is Baptist and I think that's a real stretch for anyone in the NE and pushes the WASP label a lot. I went to school in the South and no, no NE WASP would dress in LP cosplay and then speak in tongues to the Baby Jesus. I don't really count whatever you want to call that. [/quote]
