[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course they can. I know lots who are. They can't be WASPy, because they tend not to be W, AS or even P, but WASPy and preppy really aren't the same thing anymore.[/quote] No they are not but the lifestyle outlined in the Preppy Handbook is really WASP lifestyle. Just sayin’ - from someone whose schools and summer and vacation home locations appear in the book[/quote] Oh, I'm familiar with the Handbook. I was in college when it came out and it influenced my generation. I had multiple copies of the book, and still have one. There are chapters devoted to dress (can you still even get the Bean Norwegian sweater?) which anyone can accomplish. And some minority groups have vacationed in approved places for years (Oak Bluffs for starters), attended the right schools and colleges and passed those traditions to their kids and grandkids. And there are plenty of white preps who are not WASPs. Catholics for one.[/quote]
