[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]O.p. It is about power. White W.A.S.P. males have "lorded" over the U.S. since its inception. It used to be just being white alone was not good enough. My Jewish + Catholic relatives were shunned + excluded. The Jewish ones were killed in the Holocaust. Now U.M.C. whites can largely pass for W.A.S.P.S. If they look + act the part + as long as their names are not "too Jewish" or "too ethnic". So it stands to reason that since N.C.S. + STA are W.A.S.P. "Enclaves, i.e. Episcopalen, that they would be the most exclusive + want to retain white "waspy" power. Yes they will admit some "acceptable looking" people of color, but they will never truly fit in unless they come from famous +/or celebrity families.[/quote]

Do you have firsthand knowledge of this at the schools? I'm not being oppositional. I'm asking because you're lumping a fair bit of things together here. The Episcopal church may have a waspy history, for instance, but it is extraordinarily diverse and progressive and has been for a very long time. That doesn't answer the questions about NCS/STA or vice versa. [/quote]
