[quote=Anonymous]Hmmm... I find many of these responses silly and unrealistic but maybe the wasps that actually wear the bow ties are the most stereotypical insufferable types who are trying to design a pretend reality. I know a great many wasps and though, yes, in some cases they have intermarried, in others they have married people of other races and religions, every one you can think of.

FWIW, I am not a wasp, nor did I grow up with money, but I went to school (middle, high school, college) with a lot of old money, New England wasp families and have remained friends with many. I think the biggest issue, OP, isn't race but rather that you aren't already a part of the inner circle. I think that this crowd likes to spend time with people it already knows or, at the very least, with people who are totally immersed and well-versed in its culture. It is hard to break in from the outside. I think that this is the reason people find wasps so snobby and exclusionary even though I didn't have this experience at all! I actually found them totally accepting and open to difference and to very real friendship... so long as I wasn't put off by people asking me where I did I "summer" and other such very presumptuous questions! But how does one break into this world post-prep school and college?? I am not saying it can't be done, but it isn't easy because I think a lot of that crowd is pretty closed off st this point.
