[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The waspiest people I know are catholic.[/quote]

But that does not make sense.

You can’t be a WASP unless you are Protestant.[/quote]
Well, the point is that they've taken on the characteristics. I think that was obvious. It's true, too.[/quote]

Maybe this depends on geography. Around here, the Catholics I know are all the Real Housewives of New Jersey type. Driving their leased Escalade full of barely supervised kids to the Catholic School car line. Growing up (not here) I rarely even met a Catholic, and the Catholics schools were for the behavior issue kids. As in, "If I screw up one more time, my parents are sending me to St. Bridget's for high school!"

I went to school with a lot of rich Catholics in the northeast, mostly from New York places like Westchester County or a town like Tuxedo Park. They had gone to prep school and were preppy and rich. They, or their parents, had taken on WASP culture, IMO. I guess the Kennedys are the model for this type of thing? [/quote]

Yeah, they think they’ve been accepted but I’m a WASP and trust me, they’re as outside as ever. My old aunts would rather their granddaughters marry someone nonwhite than a Catholic. Not kidding. I don’t think that but I steer my kids clear of them - their kids tend to be obnoxious and the parents are noisy and drink too much. All the dads have mustaches for some reason. No thanks…[/quote]
