[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not knock it. Wasps are great!  As my kids already realize, look around you. If it was not created by God - it was created by a Wasp or another European   [/quote]

Like gunpowder and algebra?[/quote]

Don't forget agriculture! [/quote]

Are you guys being serious or snarky?

The Chinese invented gunpowder.  The Mesopotamians invented agriculture.  The Greeks invented algebra.

I think WASPs invented manipulation, cultural appropriation and taking credit.  (This is how you can tell Trump is a WASP.)[/quote]

Arabs invented Algebra, Greeks invented geometry amongst many other things, Semites- pre hebrew/arab as well as ancient chinese invented the concept of the written word and history/record keeping.  I cannot believe that people like this exist!! wow-

I've been binging on Gilmore Girls- if her parents are supposed to be wasps then wasps are 'tacky' to me b/c I was raised on English upperclass manners (Am from an old titled North Indian background for frame of reference, not that it makes me better or worse than anyone else ). A lot of stuff that I was raised thinking was ill-bred - like wearing brown shoes with blue suit, or wearing a red tie- ever is considered the epitome of good 'wasp' manners. I wouldn't judge that person b/c they are doing the best that they can and having read emily post (its actually super entertaining- i have an old copy from the 1970s that my mom had lying around) good manners are about making people feel welcome and being gracious.  Genuinely well bred people always do that and that includes not being ostentatious about your material blessings or complaining about the lack thereof or comparing. Commenting on financial matters regarding things is silly and makes people feel uncomfortable, i'm sure people are doing the best that they can or know how to do. [/quote]
