[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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!"

Openly discriminating against Catholics went out of style in the early 60s[/quote]

It’s not “discriminating” to say a Catholic isn’t a WASP. Also, I disagree that they’ve “taken on the characteristics of WASPs.” The ones I know are quite showy which is antithetical to WASP behavior.[/quote]

Catholics don't care. WASPs are a dying breed that don't have nearly the relevance, power, or money they used to. So they cling to these outdated prejudices that just make them seem even more out of touch and mockable than ever.[/quote]

Never said they cared. Just said they aren’t WASPs and don’t act like them, even if (or especially if) the Catholics are wealthy. [/quote]
